There was not a breath of wind and the lake was like glass, I liked the way you could look into the water, plus the view behind!Editing
Very little post processing, with a few light adjustments in lightroom.In my camera bag

Yes, get out there early, walk around and relax into the atmosphere of what is around you, notice the light and where it comes from. Take your time and take fewer photos with more thought :)
