Great picture, the reflection combined with fresh colours really works. Was there a road leding near to that spot, or did you have to hike all the way up there? The place looks just magnificent, I`d love to camp there for a week or two..
Yes you have to hike up from the bottom. And if you want to get late / early light, you need to camp overnight, so full packpacking gear and food, etc. So far it's the most scenic hike I've done in the Sierras outside of Yosemite.
Thanks,
