The weather was not the best, & by lunchtime it was snowing. These are the Bow Falls near Banff. They've featured in many movies:

"Several classic Hollywood films of the 1950s depicted famous movie stars being swept over Bow Falls, including Marilyn Monroe, Robert Mitchum... even the son of Lassie."

The blue green colour of the water is natural, and caused by rock flour:

Hello Chris,
Yes indeed I remember the Bow Falls from some early Hollywood movies. The bluish/greenish water and the sharp rocks on the f/g are the highlights of this scenic composition. Best regards...

Hi Chris,

Your POV upstream along the valley is very scenic and takes full advantage of the three elements. The water color is wonderful, thanks for the explanation. I assume the red dot in the upper left of the photo is a person, which gives a good sense of scale.

Best regards,

Hi Chris,

Lovely capture of the waterfall, with great view to the hills around! The colors are fantastic and the sharpness is simply crisp. The POV couldn't be better, I feel.
Wonderful use of the daylight, and the cloudy sky brings nice mood into the picture.
Great work!

best regards,
Paras

Boa tarde Chris,
You are right. It's a cinegraphic scenarium, a great scenarium.
I love this POV and beautiful colors. Great wildlife panorama.

Hello Chris,

The water is a wonderful colour!
Your well judged pov draws attention to the colour tones and the rushing rapids by using it as a lead into the shot. Good, off-centre composition.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Chris,
Stunning view of these falls. Excellent brightness and contrast. The greenish water creates almost a special effect in this image.

worthy of a wall painting Chris. beautifully rendered emerald waters. what a lovely scene to look at!

Hi Chris,

The capture of the poer of the falls is an asset to the composition. The point of view leads our eyes toward the mountain wich is giving depth to the photo. The trees and the cliff are framing well the Bow river and falls. The cloudy sky is giving a good contrast to the colors. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Attractive composition (even on thumbnail) Lovely part of the world Lovely colour in the water due to those silts TFS
warm regards
David
