yosemite Mirror Lake, Yosemite

Took a nice relaxing winter visit to Yosemite last weekend. This is

the first of a couple I'll post. That's Mount Watkins reflected in

Mirror Lake.

I like it, but think it might be improved by a grad neutral density filter. I would also move to eliminate the sticks/sno on the lower right.

Beautiful composition, I magnify coloring and a wonderful reflection.

Thanks, I would have liked to get the sticks out but that would either take some Photoshopping or cropping out some of the reflection. I should have paid more attention to the angles when I composed the shot. I'm still a beginner so this was first time I've noticed that I could use a graduated neutral density filter.

There seems to be a lot of lens distortion with this image. The reflection seems ok at the center but really off at the right edge. Was the photo taken at 10mm (16mm eq) focal length? Nice scene and I agree with a grad ND filter.

Thanks, I'd have to look at the original file but IIRC this was at 10mm.
