This was taken atop Crystal Mountain. This is one of my husband's favorite places just to get away and chill out. It's part of the Ouachita National Forest and the lake is a water source for a nearby town. I'm starting to work with HDR and Bracketing. Wish me luck.

Wow, this is a stunning landscape! You did a good job in composition and mastering the exposure!
But I have a suggestion: on the left side of the tree trunk you did some cloning at the trees, right? I can see that because the pattern is repeating. If you do some cloning then make sure to reset the source spot every now and then to avoid this echo effect.
An appealing image that fulfils the challenge brief
A contemplative moment nicely captured against an inspiring landscape. I like your composition that makes best use of the wonderful scenery your husband is clearly enjoying in an appreciative way taking in the grandeur of the scene in front of him. The foreground, with its backlighting and consequently him too stand out very effectively against the background giving the whole image more of a 3D effect that helps us engage more fully with where he is. A lovely image Susie that you will be able to treasure for many years to come.
