[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this image at a small lake off the Smith-Dorian road about half way between Canmore and Highway 40 (forgot the name of the little lake if it had one) I liked the calm feel of this gorgeous place, and being in later autumn, there were no other tourists around so it was very peaceful and quiet there. The winds picked up later in the day but with protection of the trees, the lake was almost calm.

Hi Gerald,
great composition of the lake! good viewpoint and strong colours very well captured here! tfs,
LC

Gerald, very nice shot, is that the slopes of a mountain climbing up into the clouds center frame? Great detail and I love the shadows on the tops of the trees and the great lighting on the front of the trees at the water line, great capture.

It looks a gorgeous place, indeed. This is a balanced composition with fine reflections and beautiful colors. I always want to stay for a long time near places like this one but the time is not enough for getting back.
Thank you Gerald for sharing.
Best wishes,
Athanasios.

Hello Gerald,
En effet, cette vue inspire le calme. Un superbe endroit sous de très belles couleurs automnales et un magnifique ciel.
Une bonne lumière et de très beaux reflets dans cette eau calme et pure.
Merci pour cette découverte.
Best regards
Denise

Hi Gerald,
A beautiful part of nature, it looks so nicely virgin, the lake gave you good reflections that togethter with the clarity from the water attenuate a bit a rather dark overall impression, though I have to tell I'm currently viewing it ona bad screen.
have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Gerald!

What can I say about this excellent landscape photo and the beautiful landscape itself? Perfect composition, fantastic reflection and beautiful reflection! The most impressive part is the infinite depht of field and the top sharpness and definition caused by your choice of aperture. Congratulations!

This is very beautiful. The colors and reflection are stunning!! A beautiful fall scene. TFS

Hello Gerald,
Lovely reflections of the aspens and evergreen in the calm water of this charming little lake. Beautiful blue October sky and nice autumn colors to frame this beautiful wilderness photo.
Regards, Tom

Hi Gerald!
You love water too I think...hehe. This is a beautiful one! It has the autumn feel, but also the trees allude to the location, that being the Rockies of course, and allude to the granduer of the mountains. Great shot as always, cheers,
Steve

Bonjour Gerald,
je fais pas mal de critiques sur les photos du Quebec et du Canada, deux magnifiques régions. Ici, j'aime le sauvage, le brut et aussi ce magnifique ciel.
Une restitution impeccable des lumières et des couleurs.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hello Gerald,

Again a very nice image out of Canada with the a lot lakes and the very great forests.
Very well composition with the reflections in the lake.
Nice colours and great quality. Thanks for sharing.

I wish you a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Gerald,
Superbe view, paeceful with this lake, so lovely refection with such a light, great sharpness, well taken.

Hello Gerald,
A very beautiful landscape composition with lovely symmetry. Very good light and tones combined with good sharpness complete a quality photograph.

Hello Gerald,
One notices initially the great quality of the clear and precise image. One discovers then a splendid landscape of forest and water on a bottom of mountains hidden under the clouds. Superb reflections. Very good work.
Have a nice day
Cordialement
Joel

I can't seem to get any decent reflections shots these days as it is always too windy. We went to the English Lakes just for the day last week, but not much autumn colour yet, and certainly no reflections. I'll just have to enjoy your reflections vicariously. Again you have the gorgeous autumn colours and a lovely sky. The two corners of foreground are nicely balanced by the framing of the trees at the other side of the lake; the taller tree on the left and the mountain slope at the right. Well done

Hej Gerald,
Again works nature as a wonderful mirror, but here are the reflections also beautifully distorted and create a nice abstract view. The colours and light are very pleasant. Great work!
Regards,
Lars

Hello Gerald,

I'm not sure what lake this is but I am guessing Mud Lake. In anycase the image is very nice. I like the reflections and the little bit of mountain on the right. Looking at the sky I realize that K-Country has either a beautiful blue sky woth some clouds or a grey sky. In this case is the beautiful one. Thanks Gerald :-)

Roberto

I'm a sucker for water and clouds, Gerald, especially when done as tastefully and vividly as this. So let me just jump in with the others in congratulations. You convey the calm and glory of this place quite well. It's probably getting a bit cool for picnicking, but it does look like a very inviting spot. Nice use of the clouds and all the reflections to add interest. Good framing, too, both in the software and the foreground composition.

Well well Gerald. I am getting the impression that this may be one of your favorite places to visit. The foreground grass and rocks on the shoreline add an essential element for a nicely balanced photo! Good Work!

Hi Gerals,
fantastic composition in perfect balance. Excellent saturation and contrast.
Regards Gerrit

Hi Gerald
The symmetry of this shot thanks to the reflections is impressive. Good that the shot has also foreground interest. Great Nikon colours too in a quality image.
Best wishes
Mark

Stunning view and wonder if that is a mt.(see Greg) peaking below the cloud too? The horizontal line of color in the grasses make this image pop. Nice job on the framing color choice too.
Regards,
Kathy

Hi Gerald

Excellent colours, reflections and light
My best wishes
Aires
