Vermillon Lake

[Jameel Hyder]

All the posts from Kyle from the Canadian Rockies reminded me of my last trip there. The sunset looked promising with the clouds but then the clouds towards the west covered the sun and there was that. Here are two separate compositions that I like equally. Which one do you prefer?

Comments welcome.

I almost always prefer landscape over vertical for landscape images, but in this case the vertical gets the nod by a very slight margin, and both are very nice.

For me hands down the vertical shot - I like the leading lines of the water from this viewpoint.

 

[Kyle Jones]

Really nice. I'll vote for the vertical too based on the nice reflection of Mt Rundle

Hey Jameel,

There is so much to like about #1. I can see why you like them both. I would give the nod to the vertical one also.

Like Ben, I tend to prefer landscapes as, well, landscapes; but in this case I feel #2 is the stronger image. Both are well done though.

Yes, the second really puts me in the scene, awesome wintery image...

Thanks for all the comments. Looks like it is overwhelmingly in favor of the vertical orientation.
