Athabasca River

[Kyle Jones]

This is just downstream of Athabasca Falls, looking into the gorge. Mount Kerkeslin is in the background. I did a little cloning work to remove people from the walkway next to the gorge as well as a few teenagers climbing around on the rocks (I'm convinced they saw my tripod and decided to stay in the frame no matter what happened).

Any thoughts are welcome.

The reflections and tints in the water make this an inviting scene and the colors in the cliffs keep me looking. Neat mountain for a backdrop.

I agree with Alan on all counts. I just want a bit more sky so the trees aren't so crowded.

Super cool Kyle! That is some nice light and I sure like that reflection.

It’s funny how some people honestly must know that they are in a photo and stay in the way, or as Monika and I observed in the Great Sand Dunes the other day is that people when they see you with a camera will purposely walk and leave footprints in sand that was totally void of prints where there was even a path of other footprints they could have taken, but no... it’s right across the dune we were about to shoot.

Welcome to the Selfie era - every chance you get for your actions to be recorded is a goal..... Sucks to be us.

Nice job here getting a completely different view of this area, Kyle.
