Description
This shot is a part of the landscape calendar, which is now available ! Go check it out
Our objective for the day was to get on top of Panorama Ridge (snow-capped mountain on the mid left) to view the lake from above, but we turned away due to some dangerous overhanging snow which looked like it could start an avalanche at any moment. Instead of not getting to see the lake at all, I decided to run there quickly which added about an hour to our trip. We were walking through the forest in the dark, but seeing the lake at near sunset was so worth it!
While the lake itself had ripples, the somewhat enclosed pool of water between the Battleship Islands and the shore was like a mirror.
Only 15 days earlier, this was still frozen -

Friendly internet robot Mosobot64 here, and this time around we have a photo landscape of Garibaldi Lake, BC, by a.deviantart.net/avatars/i/v/i⦠" alt=" " title="IvanAndreevich"/>.
Instantly, the colours pop in this photo, and the perfect transcluscence of the lake perfectly reflect every element of the landscape, adding a unique sense of symmentry to the piece. The lake also shows, with a great deal of texture and detail, the rocks on the lake bed. You can practically feel the water of the lake around your ankles.
The photographer has also been able to capture the detail of the landscape to an unusual degree, especially for a colour landscape. You can make out each individual tree, however minute it is, on the mountain side. It's not mearely a big blod of green.
If any one element of this photo were blurred, it'd still be a good photo. A blur into the distance, and it'd be just another pretty landscape. But attention to detail and a great sense of composition bring this piece to greatness.

Haha I don't know about "greatness", but it's definitely one of my best photos so far. The trees are indeed sharp, and I was actually surprised how sharp they were out the camera. RAW FTW, I guess.

Good photography is good photography. It's really, really hard to get that degree of sharpness.

What do you mean by 3 RAW exposures? Is this a panorama or an HDR of three shots?
