Hi Doug, this photo just jumped out of the thumbnail at me. The effect of the wide-angle lens is so dramatic, accentuating beautifully the old dried long and the grandeur of these mountains. Great DOF, colour and light management (particularly in the BG on the rockface). I like it alot, TFS, Lisa.

Helloo Doug,
superb! I'm not over entusiastic normally about HDR but this proves that we should always keep an open mind about various photography techniques.This is so immediate that I feel I am over the water with you.

"From three Raw photos bracketed one and a third stops apart - HDR.":)
I think 2 stops apart would have helped more because the contrasts can be very nasty at this lake, as they can be at Lake O`Hara.
This is the reason the sky had to suffer a bit more pp, I think.
The composition is very good,though.
Cheers:)
