A very good photo of a beautiful scenery.

Seems like a very beautiful place Tony, great shot my friend!  Cheers!

Beautiful shot Tony, wish the image was bigger! Regards, Erik

Compliments!

Patsy, AJ, Radu, Michael, Hans, Panayotis, Erik, Deanna and Alf. Many thanks for your visit and kind words. Usually when I visit a location (Oct 2009) like this I 'work it' from pre-dawn to sunrise and you can end up with a fairly high number of images. I did not select  this image before and it is with some regret that I did not share it until today.

PS Montana border crossing (USA) is about  20  minute drive from here and then on to the Glacier National Park. http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/ab/waterton/index.aspx

All the best,

I find my eye goes first to the piece of timber then over to the dramatic backdrop. Really like

the colour of the lake (acquamarine ?).  Great stuff !

Kind regards

Jim

Jim - Thanks. I have just returned from your images.

perfect image in every way... nice balance from foreground to sky... 

I like the warmth of this, Tony.  I'm curious why you chose f/22.  The branch and grasses seem far enough away that f/16 or even f/11 could have been used to retain depth of field while increasing sharpness (by reducing diffraction).   Regards, Jeff

Slavo - glad you liked the image.

Jeff - this is an image I took back in 2009 and had not shared it before. I have made a few steps in photo knowledge since then and I would never intentionally go with f22 unless I had forgotten my ND filter and I wanted a slow speed. With my sigma 10-20mm I shoot these kind of shots now with f8 through f13. I know that F8 is supposed to be very good but to my untrained and unscientific eye, I prefer the shots with f13.

All the very best,
