beautiful vista, just wish you had visited it at a time of day when the light would be a bit more interesting. there seems to be a lot of interesting detail completely robbed by the over-abundance of direct sunlight.

This is beautiful..the colors (blue/green contrast, white) look vibrant. It looks like a postcard. However, am not a fan at all of the border, and particularly in the tree in the foreground, it is too dark and "fake" looking.

A shame about the blown out clouds in the sky here, I hope you didn't take any more steps further forward cos that looks like one serious drop!! Good colours in the Lake and trees :o)

That would be Emerald Bay on Lake Tahoe, I believe :-( And if I recall correctly, Wizard Rock. It's a beautiful place, isn't it?

Highlights are a bit high at the top. Tone down the sky with a gradient, or gaussian blur from curves.
