Do you have to hike into this area? Trying to get my son to guide me around Yosemite as he goes all the time.

Location
This photo was taken at the northern most lake of Ten Lakes Yosemite National Park.Time
It was in the morning when the lake was calm almost like glass.Lighting
As the sun was coming up from the mountain behind me and striking the west side of the lake but not yet the island I wanted to capture the silhouette of the trees that were there.Equipment
For this shot I used a Nikon D610 with a 16-35 Nikon lens and hand held.Inspiration
The inspiration for this shot was to capture as much of the reflections as possible with such a calm and clear high sierra lakeEditing
I processed this in LR and used a plugin from On1.In my camera bag
I usually carry a Nikon D610, 16-35 and 80-400 Nikon lenses. I also carry an assortment of ND filters and tripod.Feedback
I try to frame my landscape shots with balance trying to bring as much interest in view. The best reflection shots are usually when the sun is to the side or behind you.
