No match
Bow Lake, not quite yet melted with ice on the surface. Beautiful scene. Stopped by the roadside and scrambled down the slope to get some nice shots. About midday when this was taken. It was still very cold due to the altitude and ice even at midday... SONY A900 + KM 17-35mm + DRO +3 Advanced.

It's absolutely beautiful! This picture alone makes me want to buy a plane ticket and get here as soon as I can. You captured it wonderfully!

Now this is what the sky SHOULD look like in a photo -- smooth, not gradiented or grainy.

Sorry,but I have to disagree with "caneveryonepleasebenice." When someone writes a critique just to show off,and verbally humiliate another artist,to say nothing condones that kind of behavior.His comments were deliberately inflammatory and disrespectful to the artist, and to American's. My words were necessary, and I have an obligation and right to forcefully respond to people who enjoy degrading other artist's .

Hello thanks for all the comments. I'm not sure if there is a tilt? I guess the tilted effect is due to the ridges along the mountain on the left of the picture. I remembered the picture as it was when I was there with the curious tilt effect due to the textures on the mountain. As for the mountains on the right, they are quite some distance away, not sure what is meant by flat since there are meant to be the background really... This is my first picture chosen so I really appreciate all the comments. Curious thing is that when I posted this same picture on a local SONY photography forum, no one mentioned the tilt at all... :-)

I don't think anyone has a right to tell anyone else to shut up - what sort of a world would that be, where we silenced those we did not want to hear? Burn, I like your criticism, but please always try to be CONSTRUCTIVE. Everyone else, you've really got no right to tell anyone to shut up, so play nicely and everyone can get along. Criticism is required, how else can people improve?

What a great picture! Brings back good memories! Keep it up!

Burn baby burn....why don't you just shut up.You are a legend in your own mind only,and keep your dim witted opinions about "yanks" contained in that small neanderthal head.

Hello TME. Wonderful place to take a picture, much as there to pick my favorites. Good performace. On the lake, if it is tilted or not, if there is more water on one side than another, do not think so. I believe it is only the flow of water and the slope of the place is natural, you can not change. This view of the water that drives your eyes to the other side is magnificent. jmichi, you have a great sense. I think that is the same. Just look at the mountains and compare.

I haven't been in this website too long, but burn baby burn, you sure do have a lot of crap to say for some one who hasn't even submitted a photo. Are you scared of people like yourself? They might criticize your photo??

This looks pretty good. I hate to agree, but it is a little flat on the mountains on the right. I'm not saying this as to pick at the photographer's skill since skill wise it looks like this took some effort to capture. I don't know what more you could have done to bring out the depth. For those who want to edit it, I suggest Paint.net since it's rotation with minimum detail loss wins out pretty well. I did a rotate zoom command (ctrl shift z) which is in the layers menu up top, 0.6 rotation as mentioned above and a zoom of 1.02 (for 1680x1050) reosolution. The zooming is to cover up the blank area after rotating. I guess it could stand 1.02x and a smig up. If you click on the little button for zooming and just use the arrow keys, you can move up by intervals of I'm guessing 0.005 even though it won't show the 1/1000 place value.

i guess i'm in the minority here in that i like the imperfections in nature. i just don't see the need in taking a long time setting up to get that one perfect shot. you're not gonna please everyone, so why try. personally, i love the shot. it's serene, beautiful, calm. a place i'd very much like to visit.

Beautiful shot.. I like it.. :) Thanks for sharing.. I have no idea why it looks sorta tilted I don't really think it is, the shorelines throw it off. Proof: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/7373/level.jpg

Great picture!!! The water line is off by 0.6º from being level. It kinda throws me off.

Wow.

Absolutely beautiful. Clean and fresh. Once again the trolling troll is obvious, on one image it critises the artist for not showing the beauty we have around us and now he criticises that beauty. Angry pathetic little man.
