Mirror Lake, Utah
(Taken in August, 2014)
If you love love love taking pictures and if you are anything like me, your computer, like mine, is always overloaded with photo shoots that I haven't yet gone through to decide their fate. I always have a bunch of photos that I can't decide whether to keep or not, so they sit waiting for a decision. Then there are the keepers that I will eventually get around to editing and posting on this blog or Facebook or 500 px, or save in my Smugmug account. The result is, I have hundreds, (maybe thousands), of photos sitting in a temporary folder waiting for me to dispatch them to their final home. I actually have more important things to do in my life other than photography, (did I just say that??), and there are never enough hours in the day, so I'm not real efficient about handling my 'post photo shoot' work in a timely manner.
Which leads me to this photo. This morning I was spending a few minutes shuffling through photos from last year that are still patiently waiting for me to notice them. Well I noticed this one and was surprised it didn't catch my eye before now. The sky in the background was covered with clouds, but the late afternoon sun was shinning in blue sky, lighting up the trees and water reflections. I think it is worthy of a second look and a post.
(P.S. I boosted the lighting and colors in the foreground as the boat was in deep afternoon shadow.)

It's great. Just enough ripple on the water to make it interesting.
I love it, the water, color and reflections are just lovely. Beautiful photo!
You processed this photo beautifully.
glad you found and posted and it has the right name, Mirror Lake it is..
It's a beautiful serene capture. Glad you gave it viewing life.
It is a lovely capture. It is frame worthy for sure in my books.
Most certainly,this picture is worth keeping and sharing. It is stunningly beautiful.
So peaceful, I want to get in that canoe and go for a little paddle around the lake.
You captured some fabulous reflections.
Magnificent image
I'm packing for Utah.
Very pretty lake, so well named!
Wow wow wow - so beautiful!
That photo is loaded with memories for me. I love the red rowboat in the foreground.
Dazzling photo!!
Tantalizing - makes you want to jump in that canoe and just drift.
I hear you about the photos languishing in some folder only to be discovered later - I'll tag mine with 'untagged' in LR so I can find them easily.
