Very nice. I like your composition better than mine with the slight diagonal line and vegetation on top.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Thank you, Craig. Have a great day.

A photograph showing a distant mountain range and its reflection in a lake. The lake consumes the entire foreground. The lake is clear enough to see the bottom with plants and rocks at the bottom. The sky is mostly clear with puffy clouds along the mountain ridge.
