Now we decided to go down straight to the bank of the lake and will reach camps while walking on the bank.

When i was reviewing this shot, i realized that water is giving reflections in this area

In the evening and morning, the camp side area was very windy and water was not still at all so there was no chance of reflections but on this left side, floating ice was keeping the water still to some extent

Once i realized this ... then obviously there had to be a series of reflection shots

Here we go .. Kundol with reflections
