Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

One thing that the Canadian Rockies does really well is its lakes. What is amazing is that they are all this incredible blue/green colour. This is caused by the sediment suspended in the water from the melting glaciers that provide the water for the lakes.
I apologise in advance for the large number of images in this post, however I think it's good to see them in a group 
Lake Minnewanka, near Banff. The largest lake in the Rockies, apparently, although it is madmade (dammed to form one big lake from 3 smaller lakes)
Emerald Lake - The weather was ordinary, but still very nice.
Moraine Lake - This was taken in the 5 seconds of sunlight we had all morning. The colour of the water really pops out at you when the sun hits it direcly.
Lake Louise - Taken from the lookout at the top of the Lake Louise Gondola - the normal postcard shot with the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise in the foreground
Peyto Lake - My personal favourite of the lakes that we saw, you can actually see the glacier that feeds it from the lookout.
Maligne Lake - Spirit Island - This one was a bugger to get - as you can see I had to shoot straight into the sun, pretty much. Very pretty though, so I slapped a 6-stop ND filter onto the lens, took a 1s exposure and smashed it pretty hard in PP to get the result you see here.

Thanks for posting these, it brings back memories. I have hiked around a number of those lakes, having lived in Calgary for a number of years.
My favourite is the one of Emereld Lake. On a clear day, those lakes are stunning, sorry that you didn't get that.
The last one, I saw almost everyday. It used to be on the back of the $20 bill  so it is a classic shot.

Moraine Lake looks incredible! Spirit Island is also really good under adverse conditions. Looks like a wonderful part of the world...

Andre, I think you're mistaken.. It is actually MORAINE LAKE that is on the back of the old CDN 20 dollar bill
Regardless, they are all beautiful. I would love to come back again in a few years, and not have to rush from one lake to another. In many cases, either we were in a rush or it was raining and I didn't want to hang around long....

Still a classic shot!
