Great photo. I've been on Bear Lake in the middle of winter - it freezes solid and you can walk right across it.

I love the shallows in the foreground of the photo.

Really good composition, and colours. You've caught the roof of the building at just the right position to draw our eyes into the background, which is splendid!

Wow! Great perspective, and I love the sharp contrast of the colours of the ballons with the snow on the ground.

I'm glad you got the shadows of the baloons - they convey a sense of movement in an otherwise very serene photo.

Lovely shot of a place I've been up many times myself.

Perspective is good, but I wonder if it could have been improved by increasing the depth of field by going for a slower shutter speed.

Really great light, including in the clouds. I think the surf (wake of the boat?) in the foreground helps to give a sense of scale and an immediacy of place.

Stunning colours, and I like how the photo includes 4 or 5 great "textures" / images at each layer as you go into the distance.

The arch is interesting.. The cut-out, jagged effect caught my eye, but I wonder if too much understanding of the context is needed in order to prefer this view to a cropped version ommitting it.

Wonderful leaf colours accentuated by the crisp contrast with the tree trunks.

A great sense of place has been created by the depth of field, and the compositioninviting you to walk into the picture through into the middle distance in centre-left.

Very good golden colours in this. I like the composition with the tall boat on the left "anchoring" the flow of light through the picture.

Incredible. How beautiful and peaceful looking this place was.

Good shot, capturing the feel of the place well. I wonder if you could have added more detail to the background by increasing the depth of field more. I disagree about cropping trees etc off. I think it helps, and the sun & shadows on the road in bottom left emphasises the summers day nature of the scene.
