Mountain Lake

While playing around with the sky lab in Bryce, I started to experiment with varying degrees of haze and fog.

One such experiment resulted in this scene of a mountain lake. This is the second version of this image, the mountains in the far distance were not to my liking so I re-rendered the image with different mountain landscapes. Because the sun is set so low in this image (just above the horizon on the right) the shadows cast by the new mountains were not the same as the initial image, therefore I used Photoshop to merge the two versions - taking the foreground from the first render and the background from the second.

I like they way you can just make out rocks and pebbles on the shoreline on the opposite side of the lake.
