Red Canoes

This is another image from my last trip to Banff/Jasper during the wildfires burning across the border in British Columbia. The haze in the distance is still visible. I was hesitant to post a shot of Lake Louise but I just loved how these red canoes stood out (if thats even possible) is such a beautiful place.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by for a look.

As always your thoughts and comments are welcome and appreciated.

No need to be hesistant to post Lake Louise shots, it's one of the nicest places in the world!

I like what you did here with the canoe in the shadows. The red really pops against the black. Maybe if you could dark some of those heights on the mountains in the background it would lessen the haze effect?

The little bit of bright red of the canoes is a great touch, a tiny exclamation point in the grand wilderness. The overall scene is awfully hazy, though.

Very pretty. I might increase the contrast to combat the areas with most haze.
