Convict Lake, Eastern Sierras, CA, USA

The exposure of this shot is simply spot on! I love B&W photos which run the whole range of sensitivity of the film (or the CCD in this case). Excellent choice in using the red filter too, very appropriate for darkening the sky. The thing that I wonder about though is the reflection. It looks very cool, but it's almost like there's just too much going on here. I wonder if a picture of just the sierras would've worked better, or if you had somehow managed to get some of the sky in the reflection as well. Just my 2 cents.

stunning. just stunning. the shadow transforms it from a beautiful photo to a stunning photo.

Last weekend I stumbled upon a masterwork of nature and tried to

capture it's beauty in this photograph. Your critique and rating is

appreciated.

I was going to remark that this looked liked Convict Lake until I saw the title! Good job of getting a great BW image of this magical place!

Radical. Like looking through a kaleidoscope.

This one grows on you...quickly. At first glance it appears that the lower left is too dark. However, now it really does not...I actually like the contrasts in this image. Would also love to see this in color! Another good one.

wow. that is a wild photo. the reflection really works with the slight ripple on the surface

Beautiful!

Great shot of a beautiful place!

Georgeous tonality. Serene landscape image is so so until demonstration of masterful control in your printmaking. a good image became emotional.

Is something not right in your cerebellum?!?! Your crooked horizon here is way too distracting. Either visit a brain surgeon, buy a bubble level, or don't shoot when drunk! Exposure is fine.
