Lake Obed at Dusk

Gallery: LandscapePosted March 16, 2010103 views5 comments

Took this photo after a long day of hiking in Jasper. I got back to the cabin, walked over to the dock and saw this pretty scene. I really wanted to capture the single cloud reflection with the dusk colours.
Let me know what you think or what I should change. (the red light towers on the left are cell phone towers) Photo taken at Lake Obed Provincial Park, Alberta.

Id crop out the towers for one! The graphic quality and deep colors are appealing; this would be a winner for me if you can get a little more clarity in the cloud (it looks slightly soft). Now that you have your feet wet in ESS i recommend a higher comment-post ratio; it will help you figure out for yourself what works and what doesnt.

You should have wrote that the lights were from the space aliens, that way this pic would still belong in the ESS gallery.

I really like the simple and clean comp. The nice light and no clutter make this one work for me. I really like the tree silhouette on the RHS of the pic. I might try cloning out the tower lights.

Ditto simple and beautiful, without the towers! Nice framing!

Apparently too subtle for most, but a great catch! Does look a tad soft.
