Combine your efforts with your exceptional talent for capturing a perfectly framed scene in just the right light and you have a picture perfect photo!!! Very well done!

Totally awesome Mike! The colors are terrific! Thank you for getting up so early! Take care, Linda

stunning image, great time of day to catch these tones of colors, great job, awesome image

Gorgeous shot Mike!

Defintely worth it. I like the perspective, the distant elements and the closer up rocks and clear, still water.
Great part of the world you live in. I haven’t been out to the forest for ages. I must go – I always feel more at home there than in Sydney.

Fantastic! Absolute stillness in the water, perfect reflections,and great color.

Amazing Shot!!! Totally worth it!!

very beautiful. it’s so serene to look at =)

Wow. An outstanding shot, in every respect..and so beautiful.

Great comp. That rock really makes a good fg. The light is perfect

Well worth the effort to get such magnificent landscape my friend. I’d love to see a version where just that magnificent mountain is reflected in the mirror lake – is it possible to get this perspective?

I’d have to agree that it was worth all your efforts. This must have been jaw-dropping to experience – to capture it for the rest of us to revel in is something we can all be thankful for. So…thanks!

Very nicely captured.

man this is just amazing!!!

great shot as always , i hope you add it to National Parks of The World

An absolue rip-snorter Mike. Bloody well done!

Stunning image! Excellent vertical composition, DOF and a glorious reflection of Mt. Rainier in the lake! Well done!

One of my favorites!!!

Magnificent!

Spectacular!

This is quite gorgeous. The reflection of the mountain in the water, makes it look like it is having some volcanic activity!

Another masterpiece…well done!

superb landscape!

to stand inside this moment…did you feel the same (only to the power of 10) – as I do sitting in my chair and gazing in…a profound feeling of gratitude to experience this beauty, to being alive? I know I do…thanks for sharing Mike xx
