Following on from my Derwentwater shots I decided to use my 24-120 lens more, it's too easy to get into using the good old 10-20 Sigma for everything but sometimes a bit more reach is needed. So on Sunday afternoon I had a walk to Kelly Hall Tarn with the 24-120 attached to my D300, determined to use it and not put the Sigma on.
The tarn makes for a good shot but Coniston Old Man in the distance with a topping of snow just had to be included. I decided to step back from the tarn, zoom in to use it in the foreground and capture the Old Man and its reflection as the focal point. I'm quite pleased with the result and would love to know your thoughts. Hopefully you'll agree that the 10-20 is good but isn't the only lens for landscapes 
Thanks for looking.
Darren.

lovely reflection, and the colour, is fabulous...

Thanks for the quick comments guys, much appreciated.
Darren.
The use of the longer lens here Darren and the composition you have chose is spot on but I feel its a wee bit rich and oversaturated for me, but only just mind.
I''ve been without my 70-200 for ages now, £600 and its been back twice to get fixed, pi**ed off.

Thanks for the comments and votes everyone, appreciated, and cheers for the award Dave, you're too kind.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Darren.
Thanks guys.
I must say Martin that I was quite lucky with the light. I only had a couple of hours to spare and spotted the snow on the Old Man and didn't have time to go anywhere else.

Lovely Darren - I went there in the snow a week or so back but got nothing to speak of.
