Another stop along the Icefields Parkway between Banff National Park and Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada.

HH, CP and 2 stop GND. Levels, LCE and sharpened in CS5. Applied the sharpening action linked to by Morkel.

C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks,

Rachel,

I think you did well framing the FG trees left and right sides - no clipped ones. And your tallest tree right side is not intrusive on the BG.

I tried some additional sharpening and feel you can sharpen this more for posting.

Rachel, you sure have seen a lot of beautiful landscapes in your travels. What an awesome grand view, nicely captured & composed. TFS!

[Rachel Hollander]

Thanks Robert and Brendan. Robert - I dialed back on the opacity of the sharpening action, probably a bit too much.

Thanks again,
Rachel

Hi Rachel, cool shot, the drive is a great one, you should also try it in the Winter time too.

Personally I might like to have seen a little less FG at the foot and more sky above, ie moving the whole crop up , however, taking on board Roberts observation look forward to the repost.

BTW Did you stop off at Num Ti Jah lodge, if so, any snaps, be nice to see too.

TFS
