[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a picture of Bow Lake. This is a beautiful ice-blue lake on Canada's most beautiful road, the Icefields Parkway. This lake is the source of the Bow River.

This picture was taken in colour. I changed it to black and white but decided to leave the natural colours of the water as they are

Hi,
that is a perfect one. A mysterious landscape.. I love the mood which has dreamy harmony... Congru.

what a place you are lucky to have such a spectacular beauty there
great colors ice cold and cluods

Very nicely done to show the beauty of our Rockies, Karan. I like your composition with the wooden pier in the foreground leading us to the background (I think it might be titled a bit to the right though!). Personally, I am not a bit fan of selective desaturation but it seems to work here. I might still like to see this picture either in colour or fully in B&W. Very interesting light coming through the clouds. Well done!

Superb capture and a very beautiful place to have witnessed you are very lucky to have done so, personally i would give it a slight ccw rotation but a very minor nit to a perfect image well done.

Great shot monochrome Karan. Very beautiful.
Well done

Such a dream...Very touchy colors. Great compo and technics. You did it well.

I think your PP work makes your shot so special. Lake color is so impressive like that. Very nice scenery and you took it well, perhaps you can rotate it a little left.

beautiful composition here
colors and sharpness are superb
love the moutains in the background, slight tilt but only minor :)

Unusually beautiful landscape. And good work, I congratulate! But I would like, that there was a variant, when work completely in B*W. It seemed to me not less beautifully, but would be more strict.

Beutiful shot Karan. The "icy" water really shows well. It just looks very very cold.
Good work !

Great work. Colour and composition is beautiful..
Congrulations,

Stunning photo, Karan! I like the selective desaturation - it may have been a warm day, but it certainly looks cold. The slightly tilt works here also, allowing the dock to occupy more of the photo. Nicely done.

a splendid landscape.. turning all the colors in black and white except the lake has created an impressive result.. slight tilt has increased the feeling of depth..
congratulations..

Impressive shot! Lovely composition and great perspective. The duo effect is very nice and the DOF and detail excellent.

What a great picture!The dissision to leave the color of the water natural, is an excellent dissision!!

Just a fantastic image - like the way you've pp'd it too - absolutely divine.

You really get the feeling of being there - "cold", damp day with the sun trying to pierce the clouds.

TFS

Marc

Hi Karen,
This is really a breath-taking view from a good photographer that you can keep the blue from B/W
good concept!
thanks for sharing
cheers
Tony

Nice shot but horizon still a little off which spoils it.

Hello Karan,
This is a very well composed image, dynamic!
I like how you balance elements, and the strong foreground interest to create a fine feeling of depth...
Good details are captured!
Greetings,
Pablo -

What a beauty Karan. Great use of selective color. I like your low pov.

Hi Karen
Merry Christmas.
Beautiful photo. Great composition. Interesting colours.
Anna

Hi Karan,

Great work, well composed and good PS. TFS

Fara

Hi Karan!

I like the color-tone that you have selected for this shot. I also value the angle that you have taken this shot from, the calmness of the water and the dark mountain with streaks of white ice make it so delightful also the little bridge just suits the scene. Only thing that I notice is that the shot is tilted towards a little right (I know its not relevant :D but still).
Anyways I like this shot a lot, congrats and thanks for sharing!
Cheers!

Hi Karan,

Most beautiful view and mood.

Very good composition, focus and detail.

TFS
