Well, Bonds Craig, Reeds Peak and Great Dome from that side and that angle suggests somewhere in the Mt Field NP. Not Lord or Lanes - vegetation is wrong. Maybe from near The Watcher?

I've tried getting that same shot from near there but never had a decent result. Needs a lot of zoom and a steady hand.
