Summer Morning Reflections at Lily Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. Image taken with a Nikon D2xs and 14 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 140, 14 mm, f/11, 1/60 sec).  Two versions — as originally processed, and reprocessed today (Capture One Pro, Photoshop CC, Focus Magic, and NIK Color Efex and NIK Define). Let me know which you like better (or why I save all images — to learn from my mistakes and to used newer image processing tools).
