The Canadian Landscape Contest – Vibhav Gupta

Here is the background regarding this image: For this iconic location, I wanted to get a shot that retained the essence of the icon but still was different enough to stand out in the crowd. So, after a while of trying various compositions that landed very similar pictures that I had seen before, I tried to emphasize the foreground of the rock pile (which I have not seen done often) and came up with this image. I would have loved for the skies to be more colorful but this was a very peaceful morning and felt blissful to be just standing there and enjoying the crisp mountain air and the extraordinary view. I feel this picture portrays that feeling of bliss and calm while still portraying the ruggedness of the area.

Hi Vibhav,
Great Shot of a much photographed location.
My comment on the photograph. Be careful about the foreground.
In this case I think the foreground takes away from the subject – the Ten Peaks.
I think it is a little off balance. To much foreground.
