Very pretty indeed. I'm not sure that the rock in the foreground brings anything to the party, though: I'd crop just above it, leaving the wonderful symmetry of the mountains and their reflection.

I think that the only reason to include that rock is to break the symmetry. I would probably also lose the rock.

OK, I'll be a contrarian. I like the rock. And the photo.

I'm only semi-contrarian: I like the photo!

The rock is a stepping stone, pardon the pun. It lets the eye ease into the scene, rather than jump to the lightest part too soon. Well done!

Warning -- Professional cropper's opinion: Don't crop this one.

I'm pro-rock, pro-foreground. The pink seems a little too pink IMO. Overall, super.

You got the Galen Rowell alpenglow.  I'm sure it was an amazing fleeting moment.  Makes me want to get out and spend time in the backcountry.
