A pretty scene for sure. The light is quite nice. I rated this down a bit because your sky replacement needs some work. Some of the blue from the sky replacement has bled into the top of the mountains on the left. It's also really hard to apply a sky replacement with clouds when the original image had clouds and there is water reflection. It makes it more apparent that the clouds in the sky don't match the clouds in the water. That can be really tricky. I would really like to see the original image as the sky reflection in the water looks really pretty and seems like it would have been very nice without the sky adjustment. As always, just my opinion. :)

An incredible landscape shot, it almost doesn't look real! I love how the colour on the mountains immediately draws your eye there and the reflection is perfect. Really beautiful capture!

Another extraordinary shot in a beautiful location. Beautiful blue sky and it's lovely reflection make for a pleasant view and capture! I am surprised there isn't snow on them mountains!
This is paint worthy. ð???
As always you have all the right attributes here.
Beautiful focus, framing and setting. I'd like to see this in your current season.

This is indeed a beautiful spot to stop. The pond is gorgeous. The mirror like reflections mesmerizing. Your photo has impressive depth and is excellent focused and exposed. I enjoy the sharpness of detail and the realism of color and light. The weeds at the left corner and the dark trees at right emphasize the sun floated mountains and their reflection remarkably. The landscape is excellent composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Fine, fine, fine! Beautiful scenes superbly captured and presented. This construction of view point is the S presentation and encourages your eyes to sweep through it in formation capturing all those individual smaller scenes.

Ah! This is gorgeous, simply gorgeous. The way you captured each element but yet brought it all together is very skilled. Nothing is in the work that takes away. Love the colors and reflections, trees, water and sky.
