Vertical Brush Strokes

[Timmeh]

This eastern Sierra lake showed interesting reflections when a light breeze moved through (or at least I thought so).

I like the effect of the wind.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Very peaceful.

You sure thought right, this is a beauty.

The reflections add a lot of interest since the trees above the frame replicate the patterns closer to the waterline and extend the effect all the way to the bottom of the frame. Nicely seen.

Outstanding image I could look at it hours. Wonderful.

Nice! I always like the pines against the granite formations in the Sierra, and the reflections add to the scene.
(Did you by chance get a longer exposure to really smooth out the water?)

Thanks for the comments Bob, Ben, Bart, Alan, Ryan, and Barry! I don't have any other different shutter speeds that I held onto because this was my clear favorite. The ripples gave it the watercolor look and smoothing it out too much made it look like mush.

Love the painterly appearance of this shot.
