This is the kind of picture that kicks my butt. Even though i feel as though I have already seen it somewhere, when i open it, it's all new and it's SPECTACULAR. It's like putting the work of God on paper (or pixels). This really gains from being enlarged. The light window you took that picture must be within minutes of optimal. There are lots of fascinating details. The rising fog at the lake horizon, the stones in the foreground, it's not just spectacular, it is rich too. The white/gold clouds and sun reflection on the right..I can't get tired of. If I wanted to score it low as you wish, I would, but I cannot...7/7 with no hesitation at all.

One of the finest images I've ever seen on PN; bar none! Pascal has pretty well summed it up for me too; but I have to say that while the subject is virtually incomparable, it is your capture of the light that makes it sing for me. All of your work is terrific, but this is simply one of your finest! It'd be the shot of a lifetime for me. Well done, Chip! Cheers! Chris

The rocks below the surface and the reflection, great job! I remember seeing a photo like this from William Niel, but I like yours better.

Pretty strait-forward image of one of the most photographed locations in the world, but a really awesome show of light and atmosphere makes up for this being the one millionth time I've seen it.

 

BTW, why don't you have your best image on P.Net?

I'll put it up. People might complain that it is too red on this site-I have tried to actually reduce the red glow a bit, but it remains... The light up there gets so red at sunset. Thanks for the critique/opinions Marc-keep them coming!

Beautiful photo. Lake Louise and Moraine do get some incredibly warm colours at sunrise and sunset. People either question the colour of the lakes or the red glow. You captured it perfectly.

 

Lake Louise always looks a little strange to me when captured wide angle. I don't know why can't put my finger on it. Perhaps because I'm conditioned to see the more standard shots.

 

I visit there several times a year. This is one of the best shots I've seen. I'm jealous.

Hi Chip,

 

Superb Work! i have a passion for collecting good landscape photograps. I love all your photos especially the ones with Sunrise. I have a request can I copy your photos and print them. It is not for any business but only for personall interest.
