Lakes Hayes is on the road from Queenstown to Arrowtown.
I am sure it will look even better in a few weeks time as the Autumn colours come in

Excellent in any sense. My limited votes are gone out, but my praises to the worthy images will never cease.

Hi Jack,
This lake would be picture perfect during autumn indeed. You've captured the scene well ... good job! Lovely reflections and color saturation. Tfs

New Zealand is in my POV, the most beautiful country to take photographs and you proof it with this beautiful picture.

You talk about Autumn, it is difficult to me to hear that after the most worst winter since many years, about 500 cm of snow, and a late Spring, please let us have summer ;-)))

This is indeed beautiful, Jack, especially with the panorama reflecting in the lake. I also like the reduced pallete of green, brown and blue tones. Thank you for sharing this special view with us! - Cordelia :))

Some will say it should have been more saturated Jack but to me as close to natural as you could hope for. Superb reflections and lovely layers of colours. TFS,
David

Hi Jack,
Wow, New Zealand looks like a really beautiful place! I've always wanted to visit but haven't had the time. What a perfect capture of this serene landscape. Perfect mirror image of land on the water. I really like the rugged textures visible in the mountains and also the rich, green sloping hills. The trees add a nice touch in the foreground. A stunning composition.

Lovely capture, Jack. I like the colors here and the time of day of the shot, it just looks so peaceful and natural! TFS

Beautiful capture Jack. Those reflections are lovely to see. I also was a bit early for the big colourful autumn colours, but occasionally we saw some super yellows and golds appearing. We also had some Lake Hayes Sauvignon Blanc wine when we were staying at Tekapo.
Cheers
