Cypress Hills, a photo from Saskatchewan, Prairies

Photographer's Note

The Cypress Hills Park is a unique wildlife preserve and remote retreat for hikers. For over 7000 years the Plains Indians wintered here because the area is rich in food supplies, fuel,and building materials for lodges. This is the first interporvincial park established in Canada.

Some 700 species of plants and 220 bird species are found in the park, which rises 600 metres above the lower ranchland. Moose, deer and elk are plentiful.

Hi John! A very beautiful shot with great colors. I like the framing and DOF very much. Seems like the image quality isn't all there, is this a scan? At any rate a very nice shot!

Hi John!
A fantastic shot of a splendid landscape. The colours are so soft and warm. Nice somposition and POV. What a pity that the photo isn't sharp.
Nevertheles, you did a good job!

The composition, enquadrement of the boats in the lower base, and the colors are great and is a work very well done. Possible is a scanned image that you pretend post and you maintained some blur to make this nice effect.

I like it and is a good work and composition!
Regards

hi John. I like the calm and quiet here, like Wes has mentioned. It appears to be one of those beautiful days when one would just want to relax and enjoy the scenery.
good shot

Hi John, I like this calm, quiet scene. I like the color contrast in this picture: the blue water, green hill, light blue sky and the small attractive boats. A well captured colorful and well composed picture.
