Default Lake Superior Dusk

I took this photo along the Minnesota north shore of Lake Superior in May. I chose a time exposure of 30 seconds to smooth out the water a bit and f/16 for good DOF.

Nice, soothing calming shot. I like the way the lake mirrors both the texture and the color of the sky

Great job NavCom, ready you 5 by 5. I like your idea of the timed exposure to smooth the water. I may borrow that idea.
