This is another iconic mountain in Banff National Park, this is Castle Mountain reflected in a shallow Bow River in early spring during sunset, taken from the Castle Mountain Junction area.

What mountain! This perfectly captures the grandeur of granite.

I was here last August. What a beautiful mountain well captured Simon. We stayed in cabins near the base.

Simon,

Beautiful capture. The reflection itself is not the most compelling we've seen or perhaps you've captured, but what I think it does is simply become an excellent compliment to the greater scene of the forest, mountain and dappled light on the mountain. well seen and captured.

If I had a nit, it would be try and tone down the bright cloud in the reflection - it's a little of an eye magnet, but not a big deal really.

thanks guys, I never really noticed the cloud in the water but now that you mention it, it stands out so I may have to tone it down a bit thanks Lon

Very nice rock formation and view. A little soft and as Eva mentioned, the bright reflection is a bit of an eye-magnet. But otherwise this is very nice to look at.
