Moraine Lake reflection 2 Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the second reflection I took on this day at Moraine Lake. The first one I posted earlier here on August 13 2006, in fact it was the first picture I posted here on trekearth. This point of view I took on the left side of the lake from a low angle. The beautiful reflection caught my eye, and I just had to take it!

Here's some info on Moraine Lake I found on the internet:

Moraine Lake is a glacially fed lake in Banff National Park, 14 kilometres outside the Village of Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. It is situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, at an elevation of approximately 6183 feet (1884 m). The lake has a water surface of 0.5 km².

The lake, being glacially fed, does not reach its crest until mid to late June. However, when it is full, it is a beautiful shade of blue. The lake gets its color from the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the lake on a continual basis.

Trivia:
Moraine Lake was featured on the reverse side of the 1970 and 1978 issues of the Canadian twenty dollar bill.

Hi, Nel,
Nice POV, good depth, interesting lines. May be I would cut the image a little from below in order to draw more attention to to center...
Take care.

Een mooi geframed zicht hier Nel, de sterke diagonale lijn van de berg rechts weerspiegeld in het water geeft kracht in dit shot in samenspel met het licht blauw in het water dat het beeld haast in twee verdeelt met een ruim voorplan en de bergen in de grijze wolken achteraan. Een zacht shot, zou een ietsje meer contrast en saturatie als andere afwerking kunnen krijgen.
