Taken from Silver Islet --north west shore of Lake Superior...about an hour from Thunder Bay, ON.
The 'Island' in the photo is known as "Powder Rock" or "Powder Island". --It was used to store TNT for nearby mine blasting.
Cheers!

This is a very romantic and mysterious shot which I find appealing. I find myself wondering just what happens on this strange mist enveloped island and who might live there.
Thankyou for the submission.

The texture on the water is quite nice, I am not sure about the top set of clouds but the lower ones seem to add quite an affect to the image. Great pic and good luck in the competition.

Yeah...the land mass here is so dark and barren...the the mist above...Convert to b/w and play with the light and it would be downright scary!

I just may tinker with it and see what can be done. ---Thanks again for the interesting and original comments. I really appreciate that! --

Wow I love the mist, and that little tree on the right side of the island makes a big difference ! Awesome, great shot, makes me proud to be a canadian

Thanks very much! -I'm really pleased with it, in general. (I'm completely with you, on the matter of the tree!)
Cheers!

Beautiful! The mist creates a real atmosphere that I can almost feel on my skin. I also like the light on the water on the right hand side, which is why I wouldn't have cropped that side more. If I were going to analyze the cropping, I'd make wider and crop it at the blue part of the sky.

The top of this pic doesn't quite fit perfectly, I feel. A little unbalanced.
Thanks so much, Liz!

Don't crop your original image file! Always create a duplicate and work on that. That way, if you need to change things, you don't lose quality. Hope that helps!

Oh yes---for sure. The original is clean and untouched.

I am here to comment on this photograph in the capacity of one of five judges for the 2006 Photography Olympics
The shot portrays a very dream-like scape of undeniable natural beauty. It obviously portrays an opportune moment for the photographer and definately inspires a desire within the viewer to experience such a moment/place. The simplicity of the photo gives it a strong appeal and the lighting is controled nicely. I feel the crop could be a little tighter on the right side to balance the visual 'weight' of the photo.. however that may not have been possible without losing some of the more appealing asthetic aspects elsewhere. The photo is presented in a very appealing manner, that is to say the framing enhances the contrast of the photo.
