Beautiful view of the Matterhorn. Good exposure and a nice (though maybe a little too strong) neutral density grad filter have brought the real and the reflection together with almost equal light. The foreground is grassy and interesting and gives an important sense of scale to the lake but also extra depth to the composition. It is a shame though, i think, that the cloud’s reflection is masked by the tree’s, and the grass. Clouds are often tricky to place in a composition as they tend to move before we take the photo, but they can be so important to the final balance of things. Maybe a step to the left (...splash!) and a slightly lower angle would have ‘moved’ the cloud to the left where it would have had more space and value, and a reflection, making a new anchor point in the lake for the viewer.
