Excelente imagen, precioso paisaje de gran belleza, lo conozco y es perfecto, saludos Harry.  7/7 a.

Excellent shot, Harry ... regards.

A very beautiful landscape! It was worth braving the cold weather having captured this spectacular shot.

Superb picture, five stars, first level, Excellent picture the colours are beautiful.

Best regards.

Absolutely stunning with really nice depth to it.  Is the sky as seen, or did you push that a bit in post?...some might see it as a bit overdone if so.  Regardless, an outstanding image of a very rare moment.

really very beautiful landscape...congrats

Really beautiful work with very nice lighting and colours, Harry!

Quality shot Harry with superb colouring.....Regards

Great Photo - well done

Nice use of color channels to bring out this beautiful sky! I like this version, too. Bravo.

Astonishing!:)

Although I could not give you the 7 this shot deserves, you  have one magnificent composition here harry. Truly an inspiration for this novice.  Your skilled control over light and shadow, tonality, and wonderful detail have me in awe.  The reflections of the water are lovely. You take such care to make sure the detail in the foreground continues into the shot. The perspective is so good, I feel I could walk right into this 'piece of paradise'.  I truly wish I could.  Congratulations on your fine skills. 'You TEACH as you TAKE' so don't stop 'CLICK'n'....cheers to you, Gail

the mirroring in the lake shows that the sky is from an other shot, but the scenery is impressive and the composition is very good.

Hi Harry, i thought this is from another planet :) great composition and very nice colors. 7/7

Outstanding image Harry, almost to good to be true. Beautiful scene. Like they say the right place at the right time. Take care.

Sincerely,

Holger

wonderful image such a beautiful scene, very well done.

The sky is fake though, judging by the original here in your portfolio and the obvious difference in the reflection.

The original is so very good that I find it strange that you felt the need to turn it into what I call "landscape porn."  But that's just my personal opinion, others may enjoy the sexier interpretation.

this could be a screen shot for one of those fantasy movies.  As a natural photo it doesn't look very good, as a digital manipulation it certainly has an oomph.  Cheers, Micheal

Thanks everybody for your generous ratings and most interesting comments,to solve the sky debate i attached a copy of the original unprocessed jpg.I allready tried 2 different skies (made up of gradients),a more realistic one (if i find one) will be posted in the near future.I am open to any suggestions and advice to improve this image,don't hesitate to tell me.Again i appreciate every rating comment and view,thanks,Harry

I kind of like the color and gradient you have used here, but I would soften the edge and try to mimic the color in the water reflection. All the best.

Although the sky has no texture together with the col. of the mountains give the whole image a fairy land appearance.
