Lake Louise - A different View I hope - Alberta

It really is quite Ansel-Adamsesque, in a good way.  best, j

Beautifully transposed in mono with the converging lines of the mountain layers, tree line and reflections leading the eye to the cabin and beyond. Superb treatment Tony.

Tony,

  Beautiful b/w image with wonderful details & reflection.  Thanks for sharing.  Take care, Patsy

Jamie, John and Patsy - Thanks.

Good Morning Tony, This is quite a breathtaking scene. From your title I take it that this place has been shot by many other photographers. I was wondering why the vertical view only because looking at the right side of the image I feel it should have an endpoint because the lines lead my eye there. Sorry if I'm not making the point more clear. It really is a beautiful image regardless. Take care.

BR,

Holger

Holger - thanks - I do understand your point. Perhaps next time I would do a panorama which may not be anytime soon since this location is 3750km away from me.  Moving the camera to the right you start getting the snow capped mountains that every photographer gets. I took a whole serious of those snow capped mountains including 5 images - one aperture stop apart to tame the dynamic range of bright sun hitting white snow. All the very best,

It's been a long time since I have been on Photo.net but again, your work stands out! This is gorgeous, absolutely perfect with a hint of mystery. Great Work!

Kellen - Thanks. I hope this means you will be more active at Pn for the next little while. All the very best,

Tony, I think this composition is excellent.  The large stones, lakeside cabin, and dominant peak really do keep my eye in the frame, even though there may be four lines trying to lead me to the right; they just don't win out, because I like what I see, and I can live with a bit of mystery.  For a B&W, I wish it had a bit more "pop" via brightness and contrast.  I tried it on my own via Nik Viveza global changes, and I liked the effect of brighter whites and slightly darker shadows.  However, such thing are very personal, and that is just my single view.  Very nicely done.

I agree with Stephen but be careful not to create large dead black areas without detail.

here is a revision.
