Icon pass this up!

Gallery: LandscapePosted September 9, 2011561 views19 comments

Sorry for posting this done-to-death icon, and for the lame pun in the title :). But hey, given how many versions of this image have been posted in this forum, I hope to get especially useful feedback on how this take on the classic stacks up. One thing I have learned: turquoise is one color range that truly requires Adobe RGB or wider gamuts to display accurately...and for the first time justified my purchase of my Eizo monitor. All this is to say the sRGB version does no justice to the color accuracy of the original image,

This seem to be an often photographed spot, but you had great conditions and the processing is spot on.

You had great conditions there. You did it very well. The reflections are awesome, beautiful colors, perfect light and the processing is perfect.

This is gorgeous Kartik! I was at Moraine Lake a couple of years ago when this place was heavily clouded over. Maybe those clouds just follow me wherever I go.

Maybe "the" icon of the icons, but with such a solid composition and the good light there is nothing to dislike here!

Still gorgeous as is. Such magnificent color, and then there are those peaks! They are icons for a reason. This is a good as any I have seen.

The larger image is fantastic. This looks like a truly remarkable place and your great photograph has done it justice.

For a cloudless scene, you have captured a nice image

The light looks balanced well in the foreground. Classic Western Canadian scene !! The only small nit is the blue color in the sky looks unbalanced probably from a polarizer?? Good work.
