I suppose that if one couldn't find something in the Sierras, then there are bigger issues at play!

Nicely done. I'm enjoying the square format, the shapes and flow in both photographs.

Thanks -- Most of my work is square -- that's the camera I carried for years ...;-)

I really enjoy your square compositions. It is obvious that you have been seeing in that format for a long time.

I try to be true to my eye and the camera --- I shoot all frame  :: edge to edge.  Square pretty much from  1978 to 98 ... few years of 6X7  &  months of  4X5 ....  8%  35mm

I'm impressed with the well-composed reflections. The way the stone meets the top of the mountain, and the trees are not cropped. Very nicely done.

Thanks :: I spend a lot of time on analyzing an image  --- Ever thing between that frame/corner to corner  > has to keep my potential customers' eyes from drifting ...even if it subliminal.   

 Art was my only source of income for 35 years.. That "old school"  style -- single lens /tripod/hand metering > took ample time to capture a sell-able image .
