Thanks Tony for the response and the link. I did find "Wanterton - Alberta" interesting, and was looking out for the same.

Thanks,

Harsha.

Hi Tony, Flower is sharp and rightly placed. The DOF effect is good with a very hazy background. However the dark brown background (tree bark?) is a little disturbing. 

Thanks,

Harsha.

Hi Tony, Liked the layered mountains as you see the image from left to right. Beautiful snap. 

Thanks,

Harsha.

Hi Tony, Nice capture. Liked the clouds and the rocks. During such situation I preferred to walk little more closer to the water so that the fore ground has some action. At times it is the water ripples, sometimes the sudden change in color for the rocks submerged in the crystal clear waters and times the the bubbles due to water splash.

Thanks,

Harsha.

Hi Tony, Very intelligent snap. This needs a brilliance to visualize and snap. Would rate it the max for this simple but a masterpiece.

Thanks for sharing. 

Harsha.

Hi Wanghan, this is a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing,

Harsha.

Hi, I feel this is the best of the lot. I cam imagine the less light you would have had for the foreground flowers.  Feel, you could have zoomed out a little or panned up the camera. Would prefer zooming out so as to not to miss the foreground.

Thanks,

Harsha.

Hi Wanghan, As already commented, too tight on the top. But the early morning rays (I guess) has lit the top of the mountain very well. Just guess what if it would have been had you panned the camera little up.

Thanks,

Harsha.

Hi Wanghan, A perfect shot. Nice foreground with the flower bed, interesting  with contrast mountain and a wonderful reflection in still lake. Congratulations on the wonderful landscape.

Thanks,

Harsha.

Tony, Should I take a boat or a glider to get into the snap. Very well taken. Thanks for sharing.

Harsha.

Hi, A dream image. Loved the positioning of the grass in the foreground the most. Could we have a color version of the same?

Thanks,

Harsha.

Hi Tony, Love the colors and the sky. The write up was also informative. Pity the 50 bears which got killed for humans entering their home. 

Thanks,

Harsha.

Hi Tony, A wonderful and smartly shot. Wish there could have been little more of the sea. 

Thanks,

Harsha.

Hi Tony, Love the split in color from top to bottom. The clouds and it's reflection is used very well. I have attempted such snaps before but have failed. Just curious to know how you managed to have a good balance of light throughout. 

Thanks,

Harsha.

Hi Tony, Clouds Water and Colors. Your landscapes are always the best. I keep coming back to your portfolio for these great landscapes.

Thanks for sharing,

Harsha.

Hi Alf, 

Soothing and calm, a great image. The effort and pain has paid off, making it better than what possibly others (including me) would have carried home. 

Thanks for sharing,

Harsha.

Hi Tony, A wonderful image. Reading through your comments, I realize the effort behind it. I am not into too much of post processing and have not spent time on HDR. But your results are tempting me towards it.

Thanks,

Harsha.

Hi Tony, Very interesting image. Nice use of the background and the backlit leaf. I prefer the original posting (and not the cropped one) as the long stem / stalk add value to the image. It leads us to the leaves as well.

Thanks,

Harsha.

Thanks Tarek and Maran for your visit and appreciation.

Thank Tony, a 7 is a very liberal rating from you. I am sure this scored much lower when compared to your landscapes. 

Harsha.

Thanks Tony, Maran and Alf for your visit and appreciation. Any inputs on how I could limit the sun glare to get a more "defined" circle.

Harsha.

Thanks Tony. I also preferred a little sharper. But the light was not bright enough and wanted larger range to be in focus. Had stepped down to f9.5 for the leaves and the tree to be in focus, had the ISO set to 800. Exposure time to .1s (hand held).  Sharpness could have been lost due to hand held or mist.  Any suggestions / inputs to better the result ?

Thanks,

Harsha.

Thanks Tony for your complements and viewing. 

Hi Tony, 

Nice composition and interesting natural colors. The green moss has done wonders and your "keen eye" and camera has helped us to see it.

Thanks,

Harsha.

Hi Tony, Is this on earth? Looks like heaven. Very well captured. Congratulations. 

Thanks,

Harsha.

Thanks Tony. I included this snap as I was liked the result. However could not avoid the internal reflection. Will try out your suggested approach of hand covering next time. I revisited the same spot after about 15-20 minutes, to give it a try again. The shadows by then had become considerably lesser. Also, due to brighter sun, stopping down made the shaded area look darker. 

Regards,

Harsha.
