"very suttle"

"Subtle use of varying hues to achieve the beach effect, autumnal foliage and a dusting of snow creates a pleasing balance with the deep blue of the sky"

": It's beautiful, like someplace I would like to visit" "genius :-)"

"Nice use of colour and distribution"

"The hues are spot-on, especially that of the yellowish vegetation; and the picture as a whole is as compositionally near-perfect as you could get."

"Overall breathtaking image with superb rust-cloured landscape. Good sense of scale too!"

"Excellent surface mapping job. Colors and distribution are just right. Not to mention the increadible photorealistic feel to the whole image."

"Second place because: vivid colors -- almost too much water a little too calm I liked it alot, however"

"Brilliant. Looks just like a photo."

"Nice, clean and realistic look of a mountain-lake area - the clear reflection in the water and especially the fine and real looking surface-mapping are main visual attractions !"

"This reminds me a /lot/ of photos of Denali (Mt. McKinley). Very tundra-ish. The lighting helps the overall image, but I like the surface map very much. :)"

" Great realism, calm water.. just love it."

"Great surface map and lighting. Water reflection is good too."

"I loved the reflection"
