Taken from our deck facing Lake Whatcom. Used PS7 to brighten color just a bit using the Velvia Vision plug-in. Sharpened with unsharp mask. Also cloned out a small area of light toward the bottom that was circular and called the eye away from the rest of the image.

Great use of natural light and shadow to create a powerful yet intricate image

I would have scored this shot higher if you had cropped out the distracting building in the lower portion of the frame. Beautiful dawn photo.

Fantastic exposure. Excellent tonal range with subtle shades of blue/purple hills and magical glow in the sky. Perhaps a hair more sky and a hair less house/roof, or selectively silhouette the buildings below. I'll score this one a 7

The lake is beautiful and so is the sky, but too bad you've got houses and trees getting in the way. Bare trees make for interesting silhouettes, but the lake deserves more attention in my opinion

This is so close to being a winner. Love the colors and the light play on the mountains and water. That's beautiful. The rooflines in the foreground are, to me, just a little of a distraction. I hope you have another sunset this good and can move away from civilization a bit for another try at this. It really is a superior view.

The lighting is beautiful, but the roof tops are distracting in my opinion. It looks like this could have been a stunning photograph if you could have positioned yourself so they were left out. Just an opinion that I hope will prove helpful.
