Natural landscapes: Waterfalls & snow

WATERFALL & SNOW, KANANASKIS COUNTRY, ALBERTA

Elbow Falls is in Kananaskis Country, an area of the Canadian Rocky Mountains that’s little known outside the province of Alberta.
I visited here for 90 blustery minutes in iffy morning light, often making three or four exposures of each composition to ensure I got something tack sharp.
A tripod, polarizing filter and two darkening filters were used on this scene. I carefully composed this to keep the boring green-grey forests out of the photo.

Love this. The contrast between the snow and the water and the contrast between the falls and still water is fabulous.
