Peyto lake

Yep, another icon...but I personally have not seen a dusk image of this scene, and I felt the blues here were quite compelling thanks to the contrast with the touches of gold in the clouds.

Another gorgeous image of the Canadian Rockies Kartik! I can not recall seeing dusk image of Peyto Lake. I like the hint of pinks in the clouds.

More amazing color. Great processing to bring this out so well. I like Balan's suggestion of a little off the top, but I would also just take a little off of the bottom as well. :toast:

A dusk scene on Peyto and without the trees blocking the view. I remember seeing maybe one other shot from this vantage point. Thanks for showing us a different view, Kartik! Works great!

This is a very impressive scene and a wonderful shot. I'm surprised it doesn't have more comments! It is certainly deserving.

Looks good, Kartik, and it looks like quite a hike to get here. I like the blues, but also think some warming of this would still work and still retain much of the blueness that's working here.

Oh wow, that large image is spectacular. The composition draws me into the scene and the soft light with the contrasting warm and cool tones are magnificent. It may be a familiar scene but your take on it makes me want to linger...and print it big!!
