Soft focus “painterly affect”

I’ve been tinkering with a couple of new ideas, at least new to me. One is deliberate soft focus to achieve more of a painted look vs. a sharp crisp “HD” look.

This photo is from Mt. Rainier’s Reflection Lake. Most of the photos I’ve seen taken at Reflection Lake are of Mt. Rainier in all it’s majesty standing tall above the lake and reflected perfectly in it’s calm clear waters. I decided not only to try a new technique but to also look for other things to shoot there. I hope you like the result. Click the photo to see a larger size.
