mcollier 0 Posted November 25, 2009 Changing times at Rundle Mountain at Banff. Famous for spectacular sunrises, nowadays if you show up as late as an hour before sunrise you have to fight for space along the shore with other photographers. I was forced into a spot I might not normally choose, and the sunrise was quite subtle without the typical brilliant orange on this day, but I was satisfied with this somewhat different result. All comments and suggestions welcome. Thank you for looking. Link to comment
arup 0 Posted November 25, 2009 Nice one but i feel cropping off those grass at the bottom would make it even better. Link to comment
anat1 0 Posted November 25, 2009 Michael,Beautiful shot. I actually like the framing with the grass in the foreground.Were you at Vermilion Lakes this Sunday afternoon with the tripod and big pack?Maybe we briefly met? (I was there too shooting hand-held). :DAttached is one of my shots from Sunday at Vermilion Lakes of Rundle. Link to comment

hyzdic 0 Posted November 25, 2009 Nice effort. And yes, quite different. Mainly in terms of softer color palette as well as the composition. I like the grass there as it provides for perfect balance to the unusually high sky included in the frame for a good reason. Breaks the rules somewhat (horizon) but works greatly for me. It also gives strong feel of tranquility, I think you succeeded in capturing peaceful atmosphere. Link to comment

don_gallagher 22 Posted November 26, 2009 Nice subtle-colored photo. I like the grass there to give foreground balance. Link to comment
iancoxleigh 0 Posted November 26, 2009 I basically agree with Marek. This is very nice indeed and I like the softness of both contrast and colour here – it is different than many shots of this icon. The grasses are a nice touch as well. I might wish them either have been full stopped or more motion-blurred. I am not fully sold on the mid-way partially blurred form they have here. I also note that your image appears a touch tilted. I know the opposing shore is receding and that will affect the perception, but, if you create a horizon line by splitting the distance between the reflections and the mountain, you can still see this is tilted CW.

mcollier 0 Posted November 29, 2009 Thank you Ian. I don't know how I missed the horizon, but I have straightened it. Link to comment
