Lake Louise, a photo from Alberta, Prairies

Photographer's Note

As this is one of the most photographed places on the planet I tried to use a slightly different viewpoint and exclude the boathouse!
The Victoria glacier is in the background.
This was taken at about 10 a.m. so the sun wasn't too badly positioned.

Dommage ! l'image est "oversharp", je le remarque aux contours des montagnes, vous avez voulu corriger le flou du scanning.
Je suis sыr que votre photo originale est de meilleure qualitй.
La composition est bonne et j'ai constatй que vous faites de trиs belles photos.

Nice angle. With that bright background you have a pretty large exposure range here, and unfortunately the foreground is a bit dark.

It was a great idea to put those rocks in the foreground, just a pity you didn't have an opportunity to take the photo earlier. In fact, with that straight horizon, a ND grad would have helped with this one. All in all though, composition is a harder 'skill' to master than all the purely technical stuff, and your compositional skills are very good.

Well Keith, it may be photgraphed to death, but this guy has never sen ir before, and I like it really vert much, even the moodyness in the darkish foreground.

Wonderful! I have been at the same place this year but the lake was not so transparent...

Except for the fact of being blurried (or not as sharp as we should expect), this image seems to me one of those people make puzzles from beautyfull places on earth. This is great, the reflections are magnificent. I am only doubtious about those rocks at the bottom. Don't know if they add something to this great landscape.

I'll take "the sun wasn't too badly positioned" as a British understatement - this is marvelous! When I came there it was rainy and with low clouds - not a remote chance of taking a shot like you did. Crystal clear reflection, and I like how you kept those rocks in the foreground.

I am just sitting here admiring this composition Keith. Thank you. The bottom framing rocks,hazy reflection and cool vista.

I can't pass this beautiful photo without a comment. Very very beautiful. the perfect simetry of the water reflection is like a mirror and its a big part of beauty of this landscape and the rocks on foreground its another one. Good job Keith. :)
