Saskatchewan Pass

[Jameel Hyder]

Another way to beat the heat and the smoky air in the PNW is re-processing some old images like these.

This is some Saskatchewan Pass, an area on the Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper.

C&C Welcome.

Most definitely not a summertime image. It even has blue sky instead of orange. That pass looks like it could be a seriously cold place to be in mid winter with a north wind blowing.

Neat image

Hey Jameel, good idea on how to beat the heat! Well or smoke.

I like this, it looks really great. I would like to see the frozen river separated out just a bit more though. I think it's getting a little lost in the scene. Perhaps darken the midtones of the river ice a little more? Or mayb pull down the midtones of the snow around it to cause separation. Not sure which is the best choice, but I would like to have that cool rive of ice separated a bit more as it also would help give more depth to the shot I think.

Nice take on one of my favorite places.

Thanks Jim. Will play with some of your suggestions.

Very nice scene. The cloud shadows on the peaks could also be darkened a little to help add depth. The fact that the light was directly behind you is causing the flat look, since there are no shadows to help separate objects that are a different distances. If it were mine I would also play around with cropping/removing the cut off rock slope on the right, it feels disconnected from the rest of the vista.

Cheers,
Heron

What a neat scene, Jameel. I have always wanted to return to Canada during the winter.
