Almost too perfect to be true... Did you increase the saturation in post-processing. Impressive how the lake mirrors the surroundings.

Thank you Alfred. I believe I did a very small amount (+2 in the camera) and slightly in post-processing. It was one of those moments when the light came out between the clouds. I was waiting and hit the remote. Regards.

White balance

It's amazing that you get these colours with the auto WB. I know that the 8080 produces a blue cast in auto WB if you shoot at noon, but in the morning or evening the WB choice of the camera seems to be perfect. Which makes me wonder what the right WB setting is for noon sunshine.

By the way, your picture now has a rating of 9.67 - pretty close to a perfect 10.

UPDATE Oct. 7/04

The picture has been approved by WestJet (2nd largest airline in Canada) to be the cover photo on the November issue of AirLines Magazine, WestJet's sole inflight magazine.

Quite amazing when you consider I just took this shot on August 25th, less than two weeks ago.

Congratulations!

It's a wonderful photograph. I wouldn't be surprised to see it wanted by other publications also.

I prefer this to the other similar one. Again very pleasing but I still can't work out why the reflection is not darker. I have tried cropping out the lower 20% and I think that this makes a stronger shot IMO.
