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.

Wow! Great impact in this shot. I'm sure the original film version has much better colours than this scanned version (I find it very difficult to reflect the full impact of velvia when scanning/digitising).

Not sure if you used a polarising filter, but it could have deepened the sky colour, and possibly cut through some of the mist infront of the mountains.
