Dragon's Bones
BEST VIEWED LARGE
Lake Louise, in Banff National Park, Canada
I just got back from holidays and this is the first image I had a chance to upload. My dad said the drift wood reminded him of dino bones… so this one is for you dad :))

The wood looks like the remnants of a prehistoric creature….a camelsaurus maybe.. Stunning pic Kevin : > )
Patrick Morand
Wow, very good one Kevin !
Vikram Franklin
Gorgeous!!! 183 secs!!! Even with a 10-stop filter (though it’s not mentioned), what time of the day was this taken?
Kevin Kroeker replied
Thanks Vikram :))
I forgot to mention that I did use a 10 stop filter for this one. I took this shot around 7pm.
Marvin Collins
Beautiful work!!
Craig Hender
Christ mate, this is awesome! The water must have been so still and calm? What are you using to eliminate noise? Please don’t tell me nothing! If you do I’m screwed, as i don’t seem to be able to get away from it at these slow speeds!
Kevin Kroeker replied
Thanks Craig :)) I haven’t done any noise reduction. I am looking at getting some software for that purpose though.

Much better view larger, Kevin. Well done

Sue Cullumber
Wow when I first looked at it, I would have sworn that it was a dragon head and wings and was going to ask you where you found this! Amazing what nature gives us! Great shot!
Stan Wojtaszek
Excellent shot, Kevin.
Just a little far from home?
Kevin Kroeker replied

Great shot. Nicely taken!
Daphne Johnson
fantastic find and wonderful capture Kevin!
John Hooton
Amazing what different things people see in a piece of dead wood. To me there is a horse or donkey’s head lying on its right side. It looks asleep. I noticed this at first in the activity feed thumbnail.
Stacy Rodriguez

This is superb work !!

Brendan Schoon
WOWZ, Kevin!! This is truly a great shot. Though it is to my opinion very hard to get a good shot of Lake Louise this picture is truly awesome! The lighting is most of the time very poor or to hard. Your picture has a perfect lighting and gives off a very relaxing power. The detailed foreground which is perfectly composed makes the picture very interesting to look at. The glassy looks of the clear blue water makes it even more interesting, it shows me that there is another world below the Lake Louise surface… Excellent piece of work, and yep I had to favorite this one. Very impressive!
Brendan
Martin McKiernan
Brilliant work – I don’t understand the techy stuff but the image is brill. And I love the area! I climbed/ walked up Mt Athabaska (spelling?) many years ago.
