Kananaskis View

Now this IS my desktop photo and is one of my favorites, obviously.
I just wish I had taken this at a higher resolution.
The Kananaskis is the foothills area of the Rockies southwest of Calgary Alberta. There is a wonderful road from Longview to Canmore which has some of the most spectacular and available scenery for shutterbugs. A sunny day is just a recipe for a wonderful day of photography.

  • Blair Wainman

    I really like the lighting effect in this shot! Very artistic and a creative shot. I think what you did was draw our attention on the beautiful mountain reflection in the water by making it the sole image visible through the silhouette effect caused by the lower resolution. It really is fantastic! Well done!

  • Al Bourassa replied

    I really appeciate the insightful comment Blair. I like to frame scenic shots where possible and this one turned out great.
