Taken in Jasper NP and shamelessly attempting to mimic (though not quite measuring up to) Darren's stunning pic that many of us admired at the January shindig.
Wista DX, Schneider 120mm, 1/4" at f/51. Fuji Astia, converted in PS via channels. Cropped top to eliminate sky and cropped bottom a little to eliminate some distracting foliage. Sharpness and detail are taking a beating in this .jpg version, but they're in there!

Thanks, guys! Yeah, I thought someone might ask about f/51. I was in shutter priority mode. 1/4" gave me the texture that I wanted in the water, and f/51 is where the aperture happened to fall.
Dayumn - nice work Ansel! I'm wondering how I didn't hit this the last time I was up there!
Beautiful!

Nice work Rick, Darren's print is awesome, as so I am sure as yours would be.

Dude, this thing just ROCKS! You don't think it measures up? No offense to Darren, but this definitely measures up and then some. New portfolio image without a doubt. Loved the digital image you showed us earlier and this one will give you the largest print you could every wish for.

This is quite lovely Rick. I really like the B&W conversion here.

Gorgeous! One of the best B&W's I've seen in a long time.
Well done!
