Gorgeous image, the color contrasts are indeed what make this photograph so "wow" inducing. I do wish however that we were so far away from those contrasts. It is a lovely image in its own right but I think having those white (infra-red?) trees more in the foreground so the contrast was more in your face, it would make the image stronger. As it is, it seems very distant and almost as if its being cut off by the top border. Still is wonderful to look at and nicely done with the light usage and focus. I gave a 7.

The lake is too big. Nice job on the idea. The dark rocks in foreground, lake, and then the IR trees in the background. But there is just too much lake so the background trees lose the impact they should have because they are so far off.
