Sunshine Meadows

Here's another shot that was taken in bright sunlight. I love the incredible colors in the glacial lake and those gold bands of sunlight dancing on the stones. But, the sky is completely uninteresting, and the distant mountains suffer from harsh lighting. For me, the image works despite those flaws.

When the sun is high in the sky, I often spend more time scouting than shooting. But every now and then, an interesting element catches my eye, and I pull out my camera. I'll return to Sunshine Meadows in Banff again - I'd like to capture some shots with better lighting and a more impressive sky! But for now, I'm happy with this shot, even if - technically speaking - it's not "perfect".

What do you think? Keep it, or toss it?
