Lake Yellowstone is a nice landscape piece. I think it was a great capture and placement of the trees, the nice off centered balance is prefect for me. It is very interesting how white the trees appear, it really makes the shot seem cold. I think this was an extremely hard category, especially with 800+ entries. I might have turned up the contrast and played with burning and or dodging to see what the image could be with some editing. I think catching the dark sky with the clouds really lets this become a better landscape shot and possibly enhancing this in contrast to striking trees. I am surprised you picked such a light piece looking at your other shots but good work on this one.

Nicely muted tones...The organic elements in the foreground add a lot of visual interest.

The white twisted, bare, dead/like, trees, give us a stark contrast, to the warm sky, mountaind and lake.....

aren't all the dead trees around yellowstone freaky? i was really bothered by all the wreckage left from the forest fire.

you did a good job capturing those skeletal things - the dark sky is perfect for the backdrop.

The is in desparate need of contrast enhancement, or dodge and burn, or something. It has so much potential in my eyes but at the moment it just seems flat.

very simple - I like simple. The composition is good - the way the one little stick thingy is set apart from the others works well. Sharp!

for me there seems too much going on in the shot when it can be really simple with better composition
