  Dear Lord! What a heavenly sight to behold. Nevermind the setting with the majestic peaks and beautiful landscape...the splendor and intensity of colors in the sky and its watery reflection alone would -or- should convert the atheist! Such a beautiful image!!! Bravo.

  It's hard to put into words just how stunning this shot is - what a blessing to be able to witness such beauty and grandeur, and then to be able to capture it so beautifully! I could see this on a wall in a gallery or in someone's home, or on a calendar or postcards or something - this would sell!
