Lake Peyto, a photo from Alberta, Prairies

Photographer's Note

Lake Peyto is regard as the diamond of Canadian Rocky. It is located on HWY 93 between Lake Louise and Columbia icefield. I made first vist to this place 10 years ago. The beaty of this place inspired me to become an ameture photographer and my photography life began at that time. Although coming here several times, I am not sure whether this is heaven or earth and can not resist the charm of this place.
For this shot, I wait for a while for a big tourist group to leave and let this couple to be part of my work in order to emphasize the joyfullness of people when visiting this heaven. I hope that every here will feel the same.

I've seen several images of this lake before, & I've added it to my 'must-see' list, when I go to Canada. A superb shot, with excellent sharpness, colour, & saturation. The person adds scale & context. Sharpness is ok. Di maag!

Hi Naret, I like the stunning view on this picture. However the blue water looks a bit unnatural to me. But I was not there of course...
Regards,
Paul

Hi Naret,
Fabulous landscape shot - great POV and I like the inclusion of the people to give it some scale. The colour of the lake looks a little surreal to me.
Regards, Sarah

Hi Naret,
Great phot !
The color of the lake is fantastic it just seems to be glowing over the forest. Nic eoverlooking angle to catch this majestuous landscape, I like too how the background mountains detaches itself sharply over the sky, excellent depth.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Very nice picture Naret! Great colors and compostion. The inclusion of the person is a nice touch. The color of the glacial meltwater always looks so odd, like aqua blue milk! Well done.

Ramonven (126) 2005-02-23 10:12

Wow! What a clear color in the lake! Incredible!! Saludos! Ramon

Naret, I have to fully agree with you. There are already many photos of this place on TE, but it is always pleasure to see it again. When I first saw similar picture in the magazin I thought that someone has used photoshop to get that great colors. Once arriving there myself I saw that those colors are real and the place is just heaven. L.

This is very nice Naret, the lake looks almost unnatural, the colors are wonderful. Very clear photo, excellent depth and good choice to have included this couple, it's a plus for your composition. Maybe a larger version would have been even pleasant, thanks for sharing.

Your Rocky series is amazing Naret! It somehow pushes me to make Canada my next destination for my long vacation on July. Beautiful colors and good compo.. The person added a scale to the pic. Good work, my friend.

Wow Naret, what a beautiful spot! The colors are so vivid and well saturated, especially the blues! I like the couple in the photo, as it adds scale and a tranquil mood. -Jennifer

this is really incredible. The color of this lake seems fake, unrreal. Did you do something to it?
nice to have included a person to give us a scale for this beautiful landscape.

weswang (18247) 2005-02-27 12:56

Hi Naret, an exelent shot. The colors are stunning. I like the way you have some persons there as a size reference.

singuanti (15250) 2005-03-04 20:03

Excellent choice in waiting for the group of people to leave, as fewer people is always better. The water is that wonderful color because of glacier run-off, correct? Congrats on such a spectacular landscape shot!

Steft (6109) 2005-03-07 18:53

The colour of the water is so very nice! It's almost unnatural! This landscape is like a little dream. You captured that dream very well!

Hi Naret. A superb panarama showing this beautiful place in Alberta. The colours and sharpness are very good. I like to see the strata running across the face of the huge mountains. A real classic shot. TFS. Murray.
