Great photo. You have the perfect amount of land and water objects without distracting from the clouds. It makes the entire image very beautiful.
Sooo pretty. Twin lakes is one of the best places ever too! I love it, well done! and that T-skew is so weird??
Orographic cumulus.
I love the pure blue in the sky. The idea to lower the mountain’s exposure is quite smart, not only making the audience focue on the majority but also reflect the clouds more brighter
Very picturesque image you captured here. You may have overdone the saturation/contrast a little bit here making the image almost look digitally generated.
The deep dark blue is nice to look at and I like the reflection in the lake. Looks like a great day at the lake!
I love the colors in this photo. The black of the mountains is great, the blue of the sky is phenomenal, and seeing it reflect off the dark lake is awe inspiring. The white clouds popping out just looks really really good. Like living in a cartoon.
The dark blue sky makes you feel like the atmosphere is quite clean and highlights the empty mountain air. I really like this choice.
Love the vivid blue that is captured both in the lake as well as in the sky. The clouds stick out very nicely from the blue background.
Nice image! I love the darkness of the sky compared to the brightness of the clouds. It is super clear to see the clouds, which is awesome.
Amazing focus and contrast. There are strong differences even between only the blues. Very professional looking image
Love the colors and depth of the mountains. The sky is beautiful
Wow this picture is incredible! I love how you are able to the lake, mountains, and the clouds in this picture, great framing. I really like how there seem to be massive shadows on the ground due to the large clouds.
Great image. I like the contrast between the clouds. The blue in both ties it together
The deep blues are just amazing. I think you did a nice job with the framing of the mountain range. Good back light of the sun too!
Pretty sharp image. The color contrast is pretty good. The structure of the image looks great.
I like the contrast in this image between the dark mountains and the white clouds. The dark blue sky also looks really nice too.
The colors in this image are absolutely incredible. The bright blue is incredible contrasted with brilliant white within the clouds. Also really like that the lake and mountains act as a frame for this image.
