This was my number one go to location on last falls trip to Colorado and I was real happy with the dusting of snow. I also notice the green moss beneath the surface of the water and tried real hard to get that color along with the trees. I was lucky to find an open spot along the shore for this view as there were about 100 photograhers lining the bank. tAppreciate the comment

I was so thankful for the weather that morning. I had planned this shot for several months and just hoped everything went as planned and it did. Even with about 100 other photograhers there that morning, tripod to tripod. Thanks.
