Shot over a lake

[jemchua]

Hi, took this shot from the top of a mountain in Hokkaido, Japan. Comments please.

I feel that it would be better if the highlights of the cloud on top be left out and the colours more saturated.

my 5 cents

nice scenery, but the sun ray is not too obvious...

I think the photo is well done, and it would have been better if not for the blown clouds. The sunrays are quite obvious, IMO.

Thanks for the comments, however, I don't think I could remove any brown clouds which nature has put there? It was the clearest day already actually out of the 3 days i was on top of that mountain, the other 2 days were simply snowing heavily and visibility was only about 20-30 metres at most. It cleared up for the entire day and I was really glad i got that shot.

haha.ragdoll, it isn't the pac ocean. it's a lake. as stated in the title. the water here is collected in some form of volcanic crater from what I learnt.

Not brown clouds. Blown. The highlights were blown. Waiting awhile for the clouds to move a bit wouldn't hurt - next time maybe.
