Peyto Lake - Alberta Canada

Early Morning at Peyto Lake. The blue morning mist laying in the valley and the complimentary golden sunlight on the mountains face was truly magnificent.
Lee filter system using two graduated ND filters gave me the sky I was looking for.

    Beautiful image here! You almost got away with passing this off as not an HDR -- but the clouds had that HDR look to them. Beautiful light -- especially the awesome aqua color in the lake. I might like to see just a smudge more of the lake and zooming out might bring out the "U" shape that would draw the eye in. Still, this is a great scene and you found a great place to photograph. Nice!
