You could almost turn around the image - almost - without us seeing it. Fantastic mirror effect. If this would be the theme of a contest (if there ever will be one again) this would be the winner, thats for sure.

This lake is so photogenic..(if i write this right..) I am very pleased to see these images Patti ! hope there are more to come ! (great font and border to.)

Did some checking on that lake, since i had never heard of it before your postings.

Here is some data:
This freshwater loch is approximately 48 kilometres long, and up to 8 kilometres wide, with an average depth of about 37 metres, and a maximum depth of about 190 metres. It has a surface area of approximately 71 square kilometres, and a volume of about 2.6 km³. Its surface area is the largest of the lochs, and is second biggest after Loch Ness in terms of water volume.

Oh, my, Patti - the reflections in this are awesome. Was/is there a way to capture this without the inclusion of man? I'd really like to see that if there is. Regardless, this is a beautiful scene that I wish I'd been there to see first hand. Great shot - as always - :)

Ok, been taking the tour of your fine works ... and I am going to jump in on your visual offering here. :o)

Thumbnail is impressive enough ... but, full-size view?

Wow.

Knock your socks off ... and I am not even wearing any. :oP

I particularly like the parallel lines of the actual clouds and their reflected counterparts. Some great leading lines there for the viewer.

Another standout element in your image would be the depth you achieved with the sky. Combining the contrast present in that aspect with the aforementioned leading lines ... really packs a visual punch.

If I may be so bold, and this is no slight against your offering here ... Phil; aka philcuk has put up a tutorial that I have found to be quite good at enhancing an image. Go here for a look see.

In particular, playing around with the "Shadow/Highlight" step can really heighten the appearance of clouds I have found, as well as, bring out other facets. Don't accept the default settings ... I think, if you haven't already discovered this ... you will be most pleased with the end results.

This is quite a stunning shot. Really well done Patti, and I wholeheartedly concur with Pierre that we are most fortunate to have these looks at your country through your eyes and lens.

Thank you for sharing your talents and efforts, this viewer appreciates them. :o)
