Ice in Utah Lake

I found a cool place near my Home to photograph Ice Stacks and Frozen Lake.

It opened a new world of opportunity for me. At the same time I purchase cool little lens Tokina 17mm f/3.5 Lens

Its beautifully sharp and work with no vignetting with my existing Filters. I wanted a wide angle lenses which work with my existing Filters without Vignetting.

I made this image 2 days back after sunset.

Let me know your thoughts and comments.

Do you like the image composition. Do it have balance ? Does the colors look natural ?

Dark gray colors near the mountains is called smog, it contains dust particles.

Hi Krishna
Interesting subject (especially as its going to be 40C here tomorrow..). Composition is Ok but think I might have liked it wider.. but hard to tell without being there. I like the block in the FG, just want to see more of the ice and edge of the lake.. not so much the shoreline vegetation.. colours are natural, but I think you could do a mid tone contrast boost.. just and a curves layer and pull the center down..

Thank you for the comments Don.

Here is the image, with a little more contrast added in Mid Tones.

Thanks

Repost works better for me and I do like the comp very much!
