This was from about 3 weeks ago, I was fortunate to get there the night it snowed and made for a wonderful backdrop, both snow on the peaks and the early morning clearing storm clouds.

This was shot with a 10 stop ND and polarizer to accelerate the already fast moving clouds.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

A very different take on the Bells and I love it. The water creates a very good leading line into the image.

Great Colour and a nicely controlled slow exposure lens a nice mood to the shot. It's nice to see this scene just a couple of days prior to when I visited. It changed so dramatically just two days later when snow fell on the lake side.

Super capture Jim! A lot of drama created with the long exposure.

Beautiful! I like the long exposure drama as others have noted.

Since you said they were early morning clearing storm clouds, do you have a view with a shorter exposure? I ask because I'm guessing that clearing storm clouds might also have made for another dramatic "keeper" like the one above.

Holy cow Jim. That is terrific. Sometimes we really get into the right place at the right time and you nailed it! Thanks,

POV and choice of exposure are great, but...the greens seem over-saturated and there's a sense of HDRishness overall.

Very nice and unusual take! I like the long exposure in the clouds. I'm not sure what you did with the processing (or if it is just the light) but this has a very painterly feel.

Very nice Jim!

One thing I learned from a well known and respected landscape photographer who just visited here, is that "It's all about the art." The synthesis of all you've learned, applied as appropriate, up to the point of this photograph.

Beautiful. I like this a lot better than other Bells shots, because it's all about the lead-in and the foreground which is awesome.

Jim, as others have said this shot of yours really works!! I REALLY like this!!
Just for an opportunity for some insight, may I ask what lens or focal length you shot this at?
Thank you for sharing!
