Mt. Edith Cavell

Mt. Edith Cavell is a mountain located in Jasper National Park. As a matter of history, the mountain was named in 1916 for Edith Cavell, an English nurse and spy executed by the Germans by firing squad during World War I for having helped allied soldiers escape from occupied
Belgium to the Netherlands in violation of military law.

The photograph was taken at 7:29 A.M. on September 15. Cavell Lake is in the foreground. This was shot as a six image HDR because the sensor was not able to handle the contrast in the scene.

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor AF-S DX 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR
2s f/16.0 at 22.0mm iso200

The clarity of the lake water in the fg makes this image for me. It grades into the subtle reflections so well my eyes go from it all the way to the clouds beyond the farthest peak. Excellent composition and a beautiful image

A beautiful scene here Jay. It has a tad too much HDR feel for me but I know that is all personal preference. The water and water color is wonderful though. I am sure it was a fine place to visit.

This is very nice, Jay! Great clarity and color. I love how you can see through the water, especially in the large version. Your comp works really well for me. :toast:
