Looks good to me! The sky is a bit too aqua-marine, to my eye, on my monitor(?), heh. You might pull back on the saturation a smidge. I've been using that "Lucis-like" effect in ACR, too. This is a great spot for shots. We go there a couple times a year and hike around. Well seen, Doug. Cheers, -mikey

Interesting, almost looks like an oil painting. Nice composition.

Itsa a nice scene, be careful wiv the Lucis thingy so your picys don't start looking like a lot of other Lucis users picys. I think some dark & shadows in picys gives them their mood.

Again, thanks for the comments. This is not an HDR. It was a very bright full sun scene that I underexposed by about 3 stops to keep the sky. I then carefully burned back the snow and stream in lower right corner which gave it the HDR look. To finish it off I tweaked in a variation of Lucis effect using Lightroom. I'm normally much more conservative. -COAmature

Very pretty indeed. I miss CO. Always a great place for some photography. This is nicely composed with the bridge drawing the eye to the right. Well done. jano

Very beautiful Doug.
(Maybe 'Off the ridge is a bridge.')
Almost like HDR effect.
