Cari, nontheless, the snow field on the mountain is an important part your composition. A little more would not hurt, yet I would not like too much. Eb

Thank you very much. On another board there has been disscusion on whether or not I should have captured the tops of the trees. Some feel it is distracting, others feel to have all of the mountains might have taken away from the true focus which were the trees. As we know, everyone has a different eye.
I was there late in the day one Sat. afternoon. We were trying to go to Bridal Falls but upon discovering they were closed we turned around and ended up at the wetlands by chance! The sun was just setting and I could have spent much more time shooting, but my young family was with me so I had to move on.
Thank you for your thoughts. Josie told me yesterday that the bug on your finger was a ladybug! Wow, you captured it at such a time that it made it look like a whole different type of insect. That shot is one of my favorites of yours.

Cari, I've photographed a fair bit at the Cheam Wetlands, yet my eye never caught a similar perspective. I like this very much - the contrast between the sunlight on the trees/reflections, the mountainside in the shade and the new snow at the upper levels. Well done! Eb

I figured this was nearby... I can spot westcoast mountains from a thumbnail. Nice shot Cari, Matt

Well, I would not put that past my husband's ability, but as for myself editing the contrast is about as complex as I will get. ;-)

Thank you Graham. As I am new to this site, I at first left the "film" area blank. It is corrected now I believe.
