Photographer's Note
Another shot from Moraine Lake, in Banff National Park. This is unusual because it was taken late in the day, just before the sun went down. Most photos of this place are taken in the morning, because the view across the lake to the mountains is looking southwest, so the afternoon usually has the sun right behind the mountains. In the summer the sun is setting far enough around that it actually shines on the face of the mountains again very late in the day, giving this view. The side of the mountains that is in shade most of the day finally gets some sun and really lights up the lake in an unusual way.

This is amazing! The low lighting on the mountain side is quite something! Especially with the reflection, "two birds, one stone".

Its super interesting as a thumbnail but it looses out in the bigger field. You've got great reflections in the water and it draws the eye to it.. but then the background goes ouch..And then again who is eev giving an opinion on your work.

Hello Alvin,
A Suburb of Paradise showing off its majesty! Excellent composition and perspective; the depth of field is superb, as are the colors. So this was just from two weeks ago. The faces of the distant mountains appear to be virtually vertical, but you can make out the strata of past epochs. Well done!
Warm regards,
Bulent

Alvin,
This is an outstanding photo. Your composition is great with an excellent reflection. The reflection gives the photo nice depth and balance. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and detail. The areas of contrast formed by sun and shadow are great giving the photo a very attractive look.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Alvin,
I had the idea to start counting the many colors in this one then I found there were so many..Interesting to see reflections, I thought that the wind stopped only early in the morning. I also enjoy the black zone on the right. it gives some depth and strength.

Hello Alvin! Wonderful shot, I like the interesting play of shadows on the right hand side. I also like how the light seems golden on left and then slowly but surely transitions into blueish tones on the right. The texture in the water adds to the fun.
Well done!

Hi Alvin
Wow! Fantastic colour, contrast & lighting with superb sharpness & reflections. I like the dark spur at right which add tonal variety. Tfs!

Despite the fact that the right side is extremely bright i like the gradient to the left where deep colours and strong contrast steel the show. Not an easy picture to make but you did great here with the different light setting. Those golden rocks and the deep blue reflected water are my favorites...very good.

Hi Alvin,
I see you intended here to build a dynamic using the > of the mountain shapes combined with reflections and in that respect it's a success and I like it a lot, however it's pity you have this dull area on the right that decreases the overall value of this shot, nothing much to try I guess, I suppose if you have framed it like this aiming more tot he left was not an alternative ?
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Bonjour Alvin,
des superbes couleurs et des lumières un peu féériques pour nous présenter ce coin maintenant très connu du Canada.
J'aime beaucoup les teintes de gauche et leur reflet.
Le cadrage est interessant, de même , le POV classique mais séduisant.
Kind regards.
Daniel.

Hi Alvin,
I do not have words to define the beauty that you have could offer us in this composition.
Everything is perfect, the light, the shades, the colors and the reflections in the lake.
The landscape is the most beautiful.
Wonderful photo! Congratulations, and TFS.
Best regards,

I love these mountain views when the successive layers of mountains fade into the distance. The clear lake works well in the composition. Well done
