Spring Colors · 07:58 PM

We needed a weekend getaway to well get away from all that snow ! So we headed off to the Banff area. It was not a photo shoot trip but I did manage to grab a few

. The weather was good , the company was great and the scenery is something I never get tired of.

While there are no budding flowers here still I find a lot of colors and textures in this shot.

You know I am not that much of a fan of HDR but I love this one bud and I know where you took this one too. I think this could be one of your best HDR's. JIM

Beautiful colors and clarity here Dave, that snow really brings out the beauty.

Thanks Jim - I wanted to bring out the clarity of the water - it's not a true HDR as it's a single image but some Topaz Detail assists

Thanks Bob there was way more melting here than where we live so spring is not just a rumor

Very neat shot, bud. I like the aquatic green contrasted with snowy, gray mountains.

Great shots, a good weekend in the wilderness by the look of it, plenty of space to stretch, it can't be beaten.

Nice use of pseudo-hdr as it's far too easy to overcook it. Works really well here, the contrast of the green against the snow is beautiful...and how clear is that water? Lovely

Green and white. Gorgeous contrast.
