Beautiful image Fred with a lovely reflection and colors. Thanks for cluing me on my camera's extended capabilities too. I got the SR app to try out next time I have a need for a ND filter.
If you have any questions, PM me.

Great photo. Still new to photography and noticed you wrote that this is an alternative to long exposures. Would you be able to do this in post and also what other applications can/should it be used for(waterfalls etc)?
Yes, it works great for waterfalls and rivers. Here is an example from Yosemite (32 shots using SR without any filters)
PS: As you can see some highlights are borderline blown as I didn't expose properly. With the SR app, you must expose to the highlights even though the files is saved as RAW.
The apps look intriguing. Replacements of ND & GND filters. That's really cooooool. No more vignetting caused by filter holder, no more color cast etc. I like it!
I find this outstanding. Just the right light balance and just the right amount of snow on the mountain to add visual interest. Love the colors.
I do find myself curious if you also shot with a higher horizon showing more of the foreground. Just curious what the foreground looked like extended below the frame since the colors look strong all the way to the bottom.

Fred, what a neat way to calm troubled waters. I've been hesitant on this app because I can't wrap my mind around so many 42mp files being processed at one time. Any particular issues with this? Sorry if this has been explained elsewhere. Bottom line- a fine picture.

After the camera captures all the images, it shows the resulting image (RAW) almost instantly.
My guess is that it 'blends' the images one by one as they are being captured instead of all at once. I compare the results using Photoshop stack mode "mean" and get pretty much identical results. I do think Sony should market this app a little better (starting by its name ) as it's a very useful tool for landscape photographers.
I'm hoping for an uncompressed RAW option and perhaps auto-align images in future updates.
"The lake was named after an incident on September 23, 1871, where a group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City. A posse, from Benton, led by Deputy Sheriff George Hightower, encountered the convicts near the head of what is now Convict Creek. Posse member Robert Morrison, a Benton merchant and Wells Fargo Agent, was killed in the encounter, and Mount Morrison was named after him. It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names."
I'm kind of surprised by the result. With choppy water, I would've thought a really long exposure would have resulted in a milky looking surface instead of smoothing out the reflections?
