Two Best Friends
VISIT LAKE LOUISE
In
Banff, Alberta., CANADA
They Take Their Photo With
Lake Louise and Victoria Glacier in the BG.
(AND I CAPTURED THIS SPECIAL MOMENT, TOO!)
* * *
Note: I rarely take photos of tourists or just people that I see, and wanted to overcome my fears and just do it. So, on this day I did. Since then I have taken a few more and I actually really like it now. I so admire those who specialize in "people" images. There is an art to it and I felt it when I snapped this image.

How right you are, Pom! There IS an art to taking people photos...and you have mastered it already, with this wonderful capture of these lovely young women capturing themselves. BEAUTIFUL! Love the horizontal crop, too.Monnie Ryan September 11, 2013

I have a friend who has been a photographer since the 70's taking people images and he said this one blew him away and I could sell it as a stock image. :) WOW!
Thank you so much Mare and Monnie! Your feel back means a lot to me. I did a tight pano style crop to zero in on what was important to me. A BPer taught me this trick years ago.
Thanks so much!

Very cool when a pro photographer tells you this is a "money shot", Pom! Follow up on that! #10841247

Mare, I really do value this friends opinion. he is fantastic at portraiture images and I take photos of houses for a living so while there I took photos all through his home for him and had fun in DDR with them later. I sent him my fav's and he plans to have them blown up and put around his house! :D A thrill for me and apparently for him, too!
Thanks ladies, so much!
