My not-quite-entry for the Reflections Without Mirrors challenge. It was a last-minute photo taken 6-7 hours before the deadline. I played with it, submitted then unsubmitted because I'm a wuss and it didn't look like what I saw in my head. This final would have been dq-ed under basic editing so I show it to y'all in it's edited glory.

The lake's name isn't really rorshach so it'll be fruitless google search if you try.
What do you see??? Excellent tones. Wonderful rendering. Great eye. Thing I hate about images like this is that I really want to go there just to see if its really that beautiful. Maybe I shall learn to like the snow.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Not only is the photo clear and sharp, the lines are so appealing to eye! I can't help but stare at it! Was this taken in B/W, or did you convert? Either way, I love it!
