Bonjour Pat
Un superbe cliché bien lumineux avec cet arbre qui capte bien le regard qui est ensuite attiré vers les montagnes enneigées.
Bravo - merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hello Pat,

This is a reminder winter soon will show its paw..!
I notice this was last year but soon we're there again...
This is a well balanced composition where the dying trees make a fine frame, excellent colours!

Greetings,

This is another outstanding picture from that lake. The composition is magnificent and the colours simply superb. That sky is really wonderful. Well done.

Hi Pat. Magical shades of blue, superb clarity and wonderful light both near and afar. The tree has a strong presence and is delineated so vividly thanks to the light and the blue sky. The island and the rim of the crater draw our eye deeper into the enchanting scene. Regards. Klaudio.

Hello Pat.
This is a fantastic photo. The sharpness is amazing, the mainly blue colour tones so rich, and the composition truly superb and giving so much depth. Perhaps I would have cloned out the branch in the top left corner, but I'm not sure about that. It hardly matters. This is a beautiful bright shot of an early autumn scene in a lovely natural environment. Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

Pat,
I have just one word for this - WOW! :)) I don't like cold, but your photo makes me wish for winter and snow, imagine that! the clarity is amazing, the cold seems to radiate from the ice blue sky, love it. the tree in the foreground works really well both as an accent and also as a way to add depth to the scene. I myself don't feel comfortable with vertical formats, but here it's the only format that fits. superb work, my compliments.

best,
Kristine

Like the previous one this composition gets its strength from foreground pines. This has even more wintery feeling with dominating blues and snowy slopes in shadow. Very fresh feeling, I can guess how cold wind blows over there.

Hi Pat,
Lovely vertical presentation of this winter wonderland.
Love the distant clouds and mist that add mystery to this grand landscape.
I can feel the cold crispness to the air viwing this fantastic winter image.

Wow, excellent shot! I like that tree very much, with those branches hanging out over the view it provides a very nice complement to the lake. The snow is great too, providing a wonderful sparkle to the scene. Well done!

Hello Patricia,
Oh my, i missed this one, what a shame because this is a real beauty. It's the claity of the image, you fresh air you almost can feel which is dominating this image. Wizard island lies proud in the middle with a tiny bit of snow on top...wow, i wish i could have seen that.
Seeing these stunning American icons, i can only conclude you live in a wonderful area...sometimes that makes me real jealous.
Kind regards, Henk

This is an amazing shot Pat...love the beauty you've captured here. The snow, the tree bending down as if it wants to reach the lake...the fantastic view of the blue water of the Carter lake & the fine polarised blue sky. It's not often that we see landscape shots in vertical format, but this works really well. Super!!
Best Regards
Angshu

Pat,
such a typical landscape impression of Crater Lake. Not only the water is blue ... Everything is blue. Marvelous! The snow on the rim and along the tree (that must have been a terrible wind) provide the perfect contrast to the blue madness.

Hi Pat. Wonderful photo. Nicely composed to show the effects of winter. Excellent colours and good sharpness. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

Hi Pat,
Your photo has a light and a few extraordinary colors, which give a great beauty at sight on this wonderful landscape.
The vertical setting with the tree in foreground works very well, to lead our look to the already snow covered mountains in October, and towards the beautiful blue lake.
A great capture.

Hi Pat,

Hope you and yours are well. One of my favorite places on Earth .. that I have not visited since childhood .. the vivid blues and contrast make this image leap from the thumbnail .. and it does not disappoint when opened .. the foreground to distance dimension, scale, and vastness are tremendous .. and most importantly you can taste the air from this .. wonderful image. take care, John

I was having a look at some of the shots you posted during my 'hibernation'. The snow at Crater Lake makes it look even more beautiful. I love the light on those branches coming in from the left. You also found a new composition from one of the famous viewpoints. Excellent shot. Hope things are still positive!
