The growth around this pond looks "new' in that its all leafy stuff and not the pines and spruce... that will come in the next 100 years.
I do like it. It's beautiful country, and you did it justice. This would go well really big on a wall... I like the slightly restrained colors... so often (including my own work) it's easy to oversaturate them. I wish I was there in the mountains see this in person.
