Here's another 4x5 from my trip to our great white northern neighbor. Shooting conditions for much of the week were terrific (must have had the T. 'Cloudle' influence on my side). This is a shot of Pyramid Mountain from Patricia Lake in Jasper National Park. Our motel was within a mile of this shot so this was easy pickins.

What a beauty! (eh) I would suggest either darkening the reflection and lightening the mountain, or displaying this upside-down.

Up side down would work, except there would be rocks in the sky!

Cool clouds and a little fall color - nice!
How much is Todd charging these days? I think I might have a big bill from this weekend :biggrin:

Awesome. I second the thoughts on the reflection imbalance, but still amazing in many ways. Clouds, color, contrast, ...

Most awesome RichieV. I also think the aspen/light (and their reflection) really make this picture special.

Yeah - Todd - Like Kalin said - what is your going rate for clouds? I'll sign up for a subscription!

Great shot, Richie. That mountain has a lot of character, and the reflection puts it over the top.

Love the clouds flowing around the peak! How close is this to Jasper, townsite?

Great shot! Really like the clouds.

This is the quick road north right out of the Jasper Townsite. My guess is <5 miles from town.
