 This is taken somewhere on the Skagit River right at sunset. Used a longer exposure trying to smooth the water a bit as well as get some darkness out of the trees in the foreground. I have been to this spot before but have never had the opportunity to shoot here at sunset. When I shot this, it was one of the most peaceful places, cold, but peaceful all the same. Not a soul around even though it is close to the road. I am so fortunate to live in such a beautiful area. The Mountain in the distance is Baker. It is a very prominent feature in the Northern Puget Sound area and my mom always thought it looked like an ice cream cone with a bite taken out of it.

A serene scene with lovely light and a nice mix of both cool and warm tones.

Too bad only basic editing allowed here, I bet an HDR merge of two exposures here would have been amazing

Absolutely beautiful. I haven't been wowed by landscapes in this challenge, but this one really does it for me.

Very nice. It would have been better if the water had been perfectly still but that is a minor quibble.

Very nice. The evening/morning light is great. I might trim the left just a touch (between the 2 small peaks).
