Judges' comments:
Pretty reflection; cabin is a good center of interest; very nice sky; suggest lightening the shadows
Maker's notes:

This image was shot on the Grand Mesa in Colorado.  It is a 5 shot HDR image shot  Av mode at f/4.5, ISO 800 which resulted in a shutter speed of 1/5000 sec.   The high shutter speed was necessary due to the wind.  While the lake was calm the trees were moving quite a bit.   I also used the large aperture to make sure the cabin was sharp with slight blurring around the image to make the cabin standout as center of interest.  Shot was handheld.  HDR shots were +/-f/1 and +/- f/2.
