Mt Moran

Overall a beautiful shot Mike. Did you burn in the clouds? They look unnaturally dark for the shot somehow. I think burning down the lake a tad will focus more attention on your mountains.

I used a 2-stop graduated neutral density filter on this shot.

It's indeed a beautifully composed shot. I feel that the clouds are a little too grey though.

Your photo is very inviting and colorful.

I agree with John on 1 stop ND grad. The picture is great anyway.

I think a circular polarizer would have been sufficient.the clouds could have really enhanced the photo's appealness.

It's a lovely scene but heavy (obvious) on the ND (or gray) grad. In fact as I understand these things the G2 would be better described as a G2.67 since it attenuates by 2.67 stops; the G1 by 1.67 stops. I think it dodgy to use NDs in a situation like this (ie perfect bright mirror reflection) because the effect is to darken the sky to a point where the water reflection is lighter than the sky. Ordinarily the sky will be lighter than the water reflection. I think a combination of warm up and polariser might (emphasis on might) have suited better.

A polarizer would not have done much in this situation as it is taken straight away from the rising sun.
