On our trip to the Canadian Rockies we spent the first week based out of Jasper. The weather was pretty marginal but we were treated to the first significant snowfall of the season. I was hoping for the iconic early morning reflection shot at Mount Edith Cavell but got this instead which upon further review is growing on me. All comments welcome.>=))>

I lik the layered colors and textures. It has a cold feel to it. I might darken the FG a bit where the polarizer missed. I might also think about cropping the right side a tad.

You had a very productive trip, Bill. I agree with Dan that a bit of the right could be cropped just inside the dead snag protruding into the frame. I might also be inclined to add a bit of a vignette to darken the edges. Very minor stuff. Beautiful image.

Eye-catching image with beuatiful color (including that amazing water) and a nice atmosphere, Bill. I haven't been to the Can Rockies in 34 years. Man, I really need to go back.

Another amazing image Bill. A crop on the right might cut off the pointed end of the lake so I am on the fence about that. Maybe the spot healing brush can help remove the snag on the right. Love the light and mood.

You've made some sweet lemonade here, Bill. Beautiful image. I would do the crop I think. Also, nobody else has mentioned it so it might be my bad eyes, it looks a little over sharpened. devil

Beautiful colors and great mood created by the fog. I would agree with the crop suggestions. Beautiful image!

Lovely Bill. Not as powerful as the falls image, but beautiful nonetheless. Excellent composition (I am especially glad you left the small leaning tree in the LRC. That little extra tree makes a real difference in feel to me. Strange, I know). This is almost two images in one with the beautiful water versus the foggy, monochrome mountains. A very successful image in that it makes you look and study it.
