Considerably smaller when compared with Lonnie's great salt lake.

Magnificent Bruce!
How enchanting the blues of the water and the sky can be! Mystifying...
If it weren't for the reeds on the shoreline, it could be mistaken for a fairy land no doubt.
Thanks for sharing,

Hi Bruce - I love the colours and the look of the mist over the lake mirroring the clouds. Thanks for sharing.

Great colors, and I love how the lake blends to the sky on the right of the photo!

Quite a nice morning scene, I like the mist and the bright sheen on the water. I thought those grass tussocks looked a little familiar, like the Mitchell grass out west....then I looked accross to the left...doh

Thankyou all for the comments. I'm interested in any comments people have about the use of HDR. I played with it for a while and probably haven't played enough so I'm thinking I'll go back and do some more bracketing. Though I'm not a huge fan of HDR, I sort of like the idea of using it selectively. In this case, everthing from the high water mark on the shoreline is HDR. For the foreground, I masked in one of the exposures on the positive EV side of the bracket.

It shows in the reflection of the sky in the lake. It's a bit blown out there.
