Kodak Moment
Bear Lake

Early spring at Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park.
On the left shore across the lake you might spot a photographer setting up his tripod. I was having so much fun taking photos that I didn't notice him until I looked at the picture later at home. He gives a little scale to the magnitude of this place.

Beautiful. Such a gorgeous landscape with mirror like stillness in the lake. Am stunned at the DOF with such a shallow f/stop.

Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada
Oh yes.....this reminds me of the Rockies, Canadian, that is. Would love to set up my tent there for a few days and fish..... ;-)

@Eric Cousineau: Well, I guess you would get arrested. There is no fishing at this lake because in the summer due to easy access there are too many people. ;-) But there are other lakes near there where you could probably land a nice trout.
@willow: Thank you.

I've been here; it's one of the most beautiful places on this planet. Your photo does great justice to the overall scene.

@Viewfinder: I agree about it being one of the most beautiful places. Don't you love it there - any time of year! We were just there last month and the whole lake was frozen over and we walked out on it.

Wonderful landscape! I really like the angle with the profiles of the hills and the lake driving your eyes toward the mountains in the background...

stunning landscape! excellent capture - so clear and sharp in every respect! the lake and reflection make for a superb foreground and they lead on towards the snow capped peaks very nicely!

@MMC Photos: Thank you. By the way, the mountain on the far left is Longs Peak, and it is the one on the back of the new Colorado quarter coin.
