Here's a couple from a hike the other morning to Two Rivers Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was brutally windy with the snow blowing around as you can see if you look for it in these shots. Hopefully, these were worth the effort.

We miss timed our hike and didn't make the lake before sunrise, but a quick stop in the hike paid off with this sunrise shot. Check out the snow in the trees.

Here's one looking at Notchtop Mountain across Two Rivers Lake. The lead in lines appear to raised footprints. They were about 1" tall and are a bit of a mystery, but they did make a nice lead in to the scene.

Beautiful images Jon. I think I like the 2nd shot best too. The lake ice looks amazing.

Thanks for the comment guys! The second shot was sent to the printers for an upcoming show in a couple weeks. Hopefully it will print as well as it looks on screen.

Sorry Numenorean, it's Two Rivers Lake, not Cub Lake as I wrote. I was at Cub Lake last week and wrote the wrong name in my description. At least I got it right in the title. :)

Thanks Victor.

I was Lying on my stomach about 6" in front of the 1st foot print you see. The camera was about 5" off the ice which is as low as i can set it. The reflection of the snow on the mountain seemed to be a bit brighter and much more elongated the lower I got. It also helped mitigate the winds which were problematic the entire morning.
