Like A Dream (mint closed)

Sometimes a photograph looks more like a painting with the light, colors, and shadows in the image. One of my favorite things about photography is creating images that have more of a "painting" feel to them. I love to do this with abstract and macro images, and sometimes an entire scene can be captured this way. I have taken so many photos over the years at this lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, but on this night, the image had such a surreal and dreamlike feeling.
