Thanks for your time and your comments. I really like this pic and believe this is one of my best photos taken to date. I am planning to get a large print and put it on my wall :)

This seems like a less-common view of a famous subject; great reflections.

Appears to be oversharpened a tad. You have the dreaded halo effect around the mountain. Too dark on the left side. Layers/masks might help you lighten up the shadows and retain the detail in the highlights.

Excellent composition and detail. The log dividing the water in the shot is perfect. ((8))

oh yeah, you got your photoshop down! most excellent work, popping out the image here. i really, really hope this does well for you, because i know how hard you worked to make this image happen. and, in all honesty, i don't think any score here will ever do this image justice. i just hope you have it printed large, and hanging somewhere prominent, giving it the attention it deserves. great work, all the way around!

Very beautiful image, however focus appears off. When I look at the image, the first two things that capture me is the mountain and water (log and reflection). The focus appears on the trees, which to me is not the "meat and potatoes" of the image. Still worthy of hanging on a wall.

Ah, I remember this shot, Gaurawa. I see you've lightened up the exposure and deepened the greens. A bit of loss of highlight detail on half dome and in the sky but overall an excellent edit. What else to say, this is just a wonderful idyllic scene. Great job.

A different time of day would make this photo a lot better (i.e. dawn or dusk).... 3

NIce solid landscape shot. Good scene, well shot. Doesn't quite separate itself from the crowd, but I do quite like the understated feel to this - its nice to take a break from the oversaturated sunsets every now and then! 7.

Quality work, good balance in the composition between the river, the dome, the sky and the trees.
