p.1 #1 · Banff Park - Two Jack, Pilot, and Castle

I took these several weeks ago, but have been too busy to post them. They might be a bit too saturated.

Comments and feedback is appreciated. Scott

Really like the foreground in number three, but I don't know if the moon. nice as it is, justifies all the blue sky. I'm always trying to get a daylight moon in the shot when possible, but it might be just a touch too high off the horizon. Have you tried pano cropping JUST under the moon to bring the emphasis back down to the mountain a bit?

Hey Scott,

#2 and 4 are my favorites here. I agree with Mark about #3, the foreground is really cool, but too much space. Perhaps in a print, it would come across differently, but in here, it seems like too much sky.

Ben Egbert: Glad you like it. I found symetry up and down and left and right. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott

Barrye: Glad you like the last. There is no room on my walls to try it but I appreciate the encouragment. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott

Hi Scott,

That last one is serenity itself. #3 as well but for some reason I'd like it itch a little less sky.

Scott Kroeker: On a warm summer day, Two Jack Lake feels like what I would expect in heaven on a good morning - calm, warm, low sun, birds chirping, beautiful sky, nice picnic benchs to sit on, no people..... Now if only I had a few clouds (see even in heaven I would be complaining). Thanks for the suggestion and feedback. Much appreciated. Scott

Very nice, Scott! Great light and contrast in these. I also like the 3rd, wonder how it would look with less sky as a pano?
2nd and 4th also excellent!

Very nice Scott! The pics of Two Jack are really crisp and full of detail. The Pilot Mtn pic is nicely framed as well.

You're finally getting the picture, I love the reflection shots and especially #4. And no jet trails.

Scott, great set, I actually liked #3 with the moon better than the re work I can live with the space I think the moon really adds a lot. Regards, Dean
