Tropical lagoon?, a photo from Alberta, Prairies

Photographer's Note

Just another shot I took a few days ago at Lake Louise where I was mesmerized by the view.
I never saw that lake this way,I think is the best of the best...

Nu pot sa cred!!!Exista aceste locuri in realitate ,nu doar in imaginatia noastra????Sincer daca as vedea un loc ca acesta sunt sigura ca m-as indragosti de el si nu as mai pleca de acolo :)
Weeked placut

Wow... Is it the real color?
It seems to be oversaturated, bit still beautiful.
Great capture, Nelu!

Hi Nelu, a stunning composition, I saw some of your photos and you have nice strong colors, here I see the lightness is excellent, great done and thanks for share your photos.

I've never seen this side of the lake before, having only made the walk once or twice and not in peak summer season. It totally looks like it should be in more tropical climates, amazing! Don't mind the central positioning of the canoe, and inclusion of the chateau is nicely done. Maybe cloning out that tree branch in the bottom of the composition might be the only thing I would point out as a possible fix.

Hello Nelu,
I have really become captivated by Lake Louise from all of the great photos here on TE. Yours is reallly wonderful! I like the lower POV, showing the different sections of the water, with the chateau and mountains in the distance. The tiny canoe shows very well just how large the lake is. The colors are magic!!

This is very nice Nelu. I think of Lake Louise as being one of the nicest lakes around. Beautiful colours and th canoe near the sand is quite attractive. I figure the smooth texture of the surface is due to a long exposure. Nicely done Nelu.

Hi Nelu,
LOL that's a funny idea, and looking at the bottom half of the frame there is indeed a polynesian something, but even though I have never been to Polynesia I know there's not a big chance to find snow capped peaks next to the lagoon ;-)
That being said the green is awesome, the view splendid and the small kanu gives an idea of the immensity, wish I was there...
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Nelu,
what amazing colour and fantastic place!
If you yourself had not seen that lake in this way, picture my surprise when I saw this!
Thank you for sharing.
Best wishes,
Athanasios.

Hi Nelu:

This is such a cool shot. Way to take the definitive Rockies icon and turn it on its head. I love the inclusion of the canoers--for one, it gives a sense of the size of the glacial terminus, and for another, it really does make it feel like you're in the South Pacific. My only complaints are fairly minor--the background seems a bit out of focus, and that little bit of twig or whatever it is in the foreground mars the shot somewhat. Otherwise, I think this is one of your better shots. Great job.

That boat is a nice idea to capture Nelu. it gives a perception of the size of the area you pictured. Awesome colors and the place I want to be.

Hey Nelu,

I can just repeat on what you've said: "I think is the best of the best". The colors look like there are from another place, maybe from the Carribians. The composition is perfect and the sharpness level is perfect too.

Very well done,

Itamar
