 This was DPC at its best. I had this idea at work on the deadline-day and I was in a meeting which would not end... I was very afraid that I would miss the sun, but I made it within minutes :)

Hardly any processing was necessary, lake Cauma in Flims actually looks that great!

A little bit of clarity, vibrance and saturation in RAW. A tiny bit of cropping, curves and USM in CS4. Resized (bicubic sharper) and saved for web.

Very beautiful water and reflection. I love the greens and blues in the water.

Very pretty shot. Lots of green but the shades are nice.

I like the subject, however I feel the picture is lacking. Perhaps it's the sun glare on the trees or the blue tint to the trees. 5
