Great shots from all. I also just returned from a stint in BC and the Alberta rockies. Finally made it into Wells Gray provincial park. The Helmcken falls are over 450 feet high and about 75 feet wide, maybe the highest in North America. The sun was my enemy. The first shot is from the viewing side the second from the opposite cliff as I forced myself up to the edge - looking straight down to the water. You can see the viewing platform in the last shot.

6D with 24-70 F4

Dilbert, thanks for the quick correction of an uninformed statement based on something I obviously misread. It does rank fairly high on the list of worthy worldwide waterfalls though (19 or top 100 according to this site) and is well worth the visit.

Looking across Lake Minnewanka. There's something about these lone trees that I find compelling. I've photographed them a lot from various perspectives. One day I may get it right.

Not mountains, really, but I thought the picture might fit here. Badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park north of Brooks AB.

Very nice B&W. Well done.

Rundle mountain as seen across Vermilion Lake, Banff AB. I posted this earlier but have removed the original posting and replaced it with this. I've muted the saturation, reduced sharpening a bit and done some work trying to clean up the clouds.

Lovely!

A suggestion: may be crop off some of the water to get the "horizon" on the 1/3rd mark. I think the clouds are more interesting than the water - otherwise I'd have suggested you to do it the other way around.

Thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate it. I will give it a go. I considered the rule of thirds with respect to this picture. I see the mountain, despite its smaller size, as being the focal point of the picture. The lines of sight appear to me to centre on it. However, I take your point seriously and will see what I think. Thanks again.

Those are beautiful.
The second one has a very impressive scenery. For me, who is living in a flat country with no mountains.
I really love to go to such places and shoot!

Thanks! There's no doubt I was born in a place with some spectacular scenery.
