Uno de tus tradicionales paisajes Pieter con el agregado de la dosis medicinal.... mucho más leyendo los animales que puedes encontrar allí.
Hermoso punto de vista con suaves tonos y apropiado foco integral.
Me agrada el encuadre elegido con una sobria presentación.
Se percibe una estela entre las nubes... puede ser la estela de un avión?.
Mis mejores saludos... Ricardo

One of your traditional landscapes Pieter with the plus of the medicinal dose.... much more reading the animals that you can find there.
Beautiful point of view with soft tones and appropriate integral focus.
I like the elected framing with a sober presentation.
A trail is perceived among the clouds... can be the trail of an airplane?.
My best greetings... Ricardo

Hello Pieter,
This is a very beautiful scenery with excellent exposure. This is funny, I come from Canada and I have never been there :-) I like those well saturated colors, POV, composition and great DOF. This lightning is superb, TFS,

Hoi Pieter,
Ik moet zeggen dat het werkelijk een kunsstuk geworden is. Bewerkt of niet, het valt en staat met de oorspronkelijke opname.
Ik denk dat ik de witte vliegtuigstreep rechtsboven weggekloond zou hebben. Verder natuurlijk een mooie compositie en goed gekaderd. Machtige bergen, mooi reflecterend in het meer.
Het moet daar fantastisch zijn, Canada staat nog altijd op mijn lijstje. Prachtig werk, complimenten.
Groet, Ruud

A beautiful scene here Pieter. I'd say maybe try a touch more contrast in the BG mountians, but overall I'd say it's pretty darn good.

Hi Pieter,
I think this is a striking landscape.
The composition is very lovely, with just the right amount of water, mountain and sky. The details are very clear and the light is just great.
Those peaks are truly beautiful.
TFS this very soothing, yet grandiose scenery.

Hoi Pieter,
Wat leuk om weer eens een foto van je te zien, en dan vooral van dit wonderschone gebied. Je jaar PP werk mag er wezen, want het resultaat is prachtig. Vooral de berg vind ik erg mooi van detail en contrast. Al had ik de lucht een tikje donkerder proberen te krijgen. Voor de rest een super mooie foto.
Groeten,
Niek

Hello Pieter,
majestical view of enormous depth and meditative silence.
Subtle colours, and perfect details without any trace of postwork sharpening - just perfectly smooth.
The text on the bottom, however, in my opinion does not do a proper job at all here for this excellent image. It looks a quite a bit rough, and disturbs the atmosphere.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

Hi Pieter

What a breathtaking sight! The view across this lake and towards those magnificent mountainf is outstanding!
I really like the composition here, with the gradual increase of the ground...(i don't know if it was your intention or not :) - the small bank and "island" from the left FG, then the forested hillside from the right and peaking with those magnificent steep clifs in the BG.
Also the poerfect exposure here allowed you to contain all these lovely and well saturates colors and tones, the impecable DOF gave you excellent shapness on the details throughout the entire frame and the great use of the polarizer enhanced all these past mentioned features adn gave you just enough contrast, too.
GREAT work!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Pieter,
De bergen hebben een zekere softness. Maakt ze misschien mysterieuzer dan ze al zijn.
Goede compo and lichte kleuren; vooral blauwe lucht is mooi.

Hoi Pieter,

Een prachtige scherpe foto van dit even zo prachtige meer.
Ik heb het ook kunnen bezoeken dit jaar, maar had wat meer bewolking en niet zo'n mooie blauwe lucht als jij hier hebt.
Je standpunt werkt perfect hier en de kleuren zijn erg mooi en natuurlijk.
De bergen, de lucht, alles bij elkaar een prachtig uitzicht!

Groetjes, Nel

Well Pieter, I give you some of that Wow! back because this is truly a stunner.. I could do with some of that elevation in my landscapes and this looks magnificent, truly. I may have cloned out the smoke trail but other than that its fantastic. Very well done.

• [2006-12-18 4:48]

Hey Pieter
You wouldn't know this was poorly exposed and had loads of dust, it looks great.
It has a very pleasing composition and a calm, clean look, due to the shimmering water and the smooth yet sharp look of the rocks on the large mountains. The smooth clouds also add to this clean look. The vapour trail of a recently passing jet spoils this just a little.
Your EXIF doesn't say, but I'm guessing you had the camera in either 'landscape' mode or just in 'P' because I can't imagine anyone manually selecting F/10. :)

Amazing landscape, very precise work.TFS.

Yes, I definately like the result! I cant even see where you have pp`ed the image. The DOF is great and it seems to me that the exposure is great too - I don`t know what is was like originally, but the end result is very good!

Hi Peter!
I,ve added this mountainscape to my favourites - it is one of the most beautiful here, no doubt. Maybe cropping off the jet track would add to the natural greatness of the place...

Hello Pieter, this is a very good shot. Lovely lighting and a very good compostition. It's all good If I was to nit pick I would say get rid of that little patch of ground in the left hand bottom corner. Well done!

I could not help but smile when I read your intro again. After the week I have had, I will be glad to get away to my medicine again...

As for your's it is beautiful and fantastic. And I'm glad you have put the work into it becuase it is really good to see it... There is so much that can be said about it, but it has all been said before, so I won't waste any more of your time other than saying thanks for showing it and sharing it.

There's nowhere like Banff and Jasper to photograph sweeping vistas. You captured a grand one here. You asked about the pp work. What bothers me is the color of the sky. My monitor is generally pretty accurate on color and this blue looks unnatural to me. I also would like any blue in the water to be a little closer to the same family of the blue of the sky. I tried a workshop. Of course much of this depends on monitors and personal opinion.

Hi Pietje Puk :-)
Wow, this is beautiful. Great title too, very fitting. Wonderfully detailed image, well exposed and great natural colours. Technically spot-on but what I really like is the sense of calm you've captured, real tranquility. This reminds me of being in the Himalayas, there is definitely something about high altitude lakes and mountains. Great shot.
Cheers,
Adrian
