Lovely picture. Is there any detail in the right foreground as shot or is it black due to being a silhouette from the sun? I like the detail on the lower left and kinda wish the right had it too. Pretty place and well done.

I can tease a little more out of the lower right but the biggest issue is related to the size reduction for web. The original is 8200 pixels wide and shows quite a bit more detail than the 1600 pixel wide reduction. Even with edits the lower right is still basically silhouettes of dark colored fir trees. This is with a little more of the lights juiced up:

I like the additional detail. Small point either way tho. The original at full size must have gobs of detail!

Hey Alan,

I had viewed this yesterday but had forgotten to comment.

This pano view from Reflection Lake really adds some different elements then we commonly see there it seems. It results in quite a different feeling shot. I do think there are some clouds that feel a bit hot in the right 1/3rds of the image, I might tame them just slightly. But otherwise, I like the flow of this. It's adding to my desire to drive from Colorado to Washington to shoot Rainier!

Oh, and I do like the extra details you pulled out of that lower right corner. It might not feel like much, but for a web view, it's some nice detail to have.
