Mountain Contemplation

Taking into consideration the mountains and cloudy skies in the background and the mirror-like condition of lake surface, I had plenty of shoreline to explore while seeking a good composition. No matter where I would choose to stand, the image would make a good composition conveying sense-of-place. I walked the shores both left and right from the trail leading back to the car park but I kept coming back to the bench positioned near the shoreline looking out over the lake. Including the bench and the exposed tree roots underneath made the best visual story for the scene. The calm mood I felt was enhanced by the soft light and reflections on the lake’s surface.
