Janes, the shot looks over exposed to me. I cant see anything in the sky but the very sparse clouds just around the mountain, the rest of the sky is "blown out."
Over all color is lacking and the fog, while adding some mood to the shot does not add enough to carry it. For all the shots that I see of this location, and you know what I'm talking about, I think "new" shots of it must have some very exeptional aspect to them. It is for sure a beautiful location but I believe you must have something unique in a shot like this. also, I believe the shot is not level, the water is slightly pouring out the right side of the image. Even if it's lens distortion, or just the way the shoreline makes it look, it should be fixed otherwise people will feel like you just threw the camera up and took a shot. . .
James, at the end of the day, I think in order to have an outstanding photo of these mountains, you have to have outstanding light. I've gone for days shooting, spent lots of money going to and fro, like this year I spent 17 days shooting elk, and I think I got a hand full of usable images. The rest are in the recycle bin . . .
I'm not saying that that shot is a recycle bin shot, but I know how far you traveled to get it, and how much effort you put into getting to that location, so I know how much it means to you, am saying that I think an observer needs find something exceptional in a shot like that in order for it to be more than just a "nice" photograph. . .
Better light and more contrast in the sky with more color overall would help that image. Most of that means wait for better light, and shoot in on another day. . .
