Early Morning on Lake MacDonald

This view is from a resort in Glacier National Park, so I'm sure that

there have been hundreds of thousands of shots taken from nearby, but

I hope this one is a little different.

The weather didn't cooperate with a rosy sunrise on this morning, so

I looked for a point of interest to break up the monotony of empty

sky and smooth water. I chose this take for the suggestion of 2-3

different axes of symmetry. I also hope the branches bring a

dimension of depth, but you can be the judge of whether or not that

works.

What mood does this shot evoke for you? Does the more diminutive

landscape yielded by portrait orientation contribute to the mood?
