This is a photo I took in Jasper, Alberta last weekend. The weather was gorgeous (for fall) and the glacier water was completely still (until my brother fell in).

That's an awesome photo! I don't think I could get a chance to see water that still if I paid! lol At first site it looks like a mirrored, doctored photo because it's a mirror, but after reading... it was a great oppurtunity you grabbed ahold of, and it's awesome!

Thank you! I had to prove to my sister that it wasn't photoshopped. Great to be trusted by family!

I've looked at this photo several times, and still haven't found one thing that I would change. So, since it's the critique gallery I'll just expound on what I like about it The colors a great, nice composition and and reflection really adds a nice dimention. What equipment are you using? You're got great clarity in this photo.

Thank you, Alison! I am using a canon 10d with the 35-105 slooow lens that came with my slr. I had a polarizer on, which brought out the sky.
I tried a whole bunch of compositions, and metered off a whole bunch of different spots, and this is my favourite outcome. I believe I metered off the far snow-covered mountain for this shot.
Thanks for your comments!

Awesome! I am a 10D user as well.

Hey Heather, thats a great shot! The colors and composition are great and the crispness and the calm of the water are damn near therapeutic! Nice work!

Very nice, very nice. Love the color and reflection.

Spectacular! I can't find one thing that I would change either. Except for the fact that I wish I had the 10D

Wow.

I can't see anything wrong with this photo either. It's practically flawless. Great work!!

This shot is absolutely beautiful. Nice work.

Was it taken over by J.P.L. ?

 

[Heather]

Pretty close to the lodge, Big Mike. The photo is of Lake Edith. The mountain straight ahead is Edith Cavell.

Thanks for all your comments, everyone!
