Serene Reflections (4)
powding (16)
This was taken on a very cold (29 degrees F) late October morning at Price Lake on the Blue ridge Parkway, view towards Grandfather Mountain (obscured by the trees). We had been hiking in another location during the sunrise to get some frost shots of Grandfather Mountain and discovered this driving back to the cabin. The water this cold October morning was dead still and I was able to get so many great reflecting pool type shots here. I still can’t believe how flat the water was. No ripples at all. I feel very lucky Mother Nature laid this beautiful site into our hands. This is one of my favorites from that series. I used the resize tool in Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album 5 with no other editing.

I've cropped the image to avoid the plants in the front. I have increase the shadows and warm tones a bit. Finally, I've added a frame.

I hope you like it.

Best Regards
