Thanks All. To answer some questions... no, there is no Big Cranberry Lake ;-), not sure why the "Little" except that it is a very small lake. We walked around it in a couple of hours and the trails did a bunch of up and down and over roots stuff. I processed this in Lightroom 2 and did add vibrance to the whole and saturation to the yellows and oranges. I didn't do anything to the tree at the top. Actually that's the reflection of hanging down branches above the water as this is the reverse of how I saw it with the bottom at the top. Cheers! Ann

Hi Ann, I see what you mean about Impressionist. Aside from the lovely colours I am inspired by the graduation of ripples from dense energy at the base to serenity of the sky. The lighter green leaves touching the sky .. what, if anything did yuo do to them ... it is as if they have been applied with a pallette knife. This is a picture I am able to almost Feel more than See. Thankyou for the lesson. Regards

I have to admit that this is the epitome of the *reflected image* I was seeking.
Just gorgeous.

Love this, Ann. Just one question: Is there a "Big" Cranberry Lake?
Cheers, Charles :-)
