I've been away for quite awhile due to computer problems. I'm just now getting up and running again.
This is a postcard if I ever saw one! The foreground on the right is exquisite, including the boulders under the surface.

Excellent, Eva. The big, colored cobbles on the right make the shot for me.

Definitely a post card shot, Eva! A beautiful and calm scene. Thanks for the large version, it really puts you right there!

Absolutely a postcard shot, although the wealth of subtle detail would be lost in such a small format.
I collected postcards for awhile and have some scenic views ( about twice as large as the 4" by 6" regular card) that were postcards that for a while in the late 50's and early 60's and this would have been a great image for this short lived attempt at postcards as art.
Just one minor nit the ND has deepened the shadow in the upper LH side of image if it could be opened up just slightly in that area I think it would be even better if that's possible, Eva. Deepening effect is more apparent in the smaller image

Eva,
Tremendous shot, was there room for a panarama or converting to B/W great contrast here.? The image conveys a wonderful feeling.

You're cheating Eva---cause i am such a sucker for Lake Louise--i love that place, and this is a classic view. I agree with Paul's critique completely.
