Evergreen, Colorado, Spring Snow Storm.

Challenge.

 I had been wanting to get some shots at Evergreen Lake, with snow on the ground but the lake not frozen, for some time now. Most of the time, when there is snow, the lake is ice. Last Monday we had the spring snow storm I need, snow and a watery lake.

Solution.

 Heading to the lake, I knew I wanted a glassy lake, for reflection, but wouldn't know until arriving at my destination. Everything was pretty nice and my shoot went well. A f/stop of 22 was used to make sure everything in my image was sharp.
