cliche mountain goodness

some days, everythnig lines up just the way you want... one chance

at this shot... I could see it coming together and manged to squeeze

one off just in time.

The composition is very nice. The white is the background (snow?) seems to be a little blown out. If it were me, I would increase the contrast a bit on the water, maybe a little saturation to bring out the colors ....it looks like there are some nice purples and blues. Maybe sharpen the folks in the canoe a bit. Just my two cents. You are right though about things lining up they way they do. Not often all of this comes together. Overall nice shot.
