That is the name of the lake in the Banff area. The lake was mostly frozen. One of the features of the lakes in this area is the color in the water - a result of minerals crushed by the ice pack on the mountains. Found a number of people doing ice diving here when I visited.

C&C Welcome

Beautiful shade of blue in the exposed waters of the lake. I like the scene here in spite of how cold it looks. Ice diving? Brrr.....

 

[Kyle Jones]

I like it - definitely a different take on one of my favorite lakes.

Very nice Jameel. I like the lines radiating from the center right.

 

[JimFox]

I also like your take here Jameel. As to the ice diving? Not sure I would want to do that!

 

[Jim Dockery]

Very nice. I might crop in just a bit too loose the bright edges, esp. on the left.

 

[Terry Farrow]

Beautiful image Jameel.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Thanks Ben, Alan, Kyle, Jim, Jim and Terry.

Very nice, Jameel. I really like the blue line leading back to Mount Rundle.

Beautiful location and lovely capture, i agree with @Jim Dockery, the edge pulls the eye out of the frame, the center is a bit dark too, i would consider a bit of balance, to get the attention to the center.
Cheers.

Thanks for the critique and suggestions Andrey and Jim. Here is an edit incorporating the suggestions.

I like the new crop.

 

[JimFox]

I really like the edit Jameel. Can you post it under the original though? It’s easier to see the differences when they are side by side.
