I took this photo as a marker of how life changes. I was camping with my friends I had been with when we all heard the news 10 years beforehand that the WTC had been crashed into by terrorists on planes.
I look at this photo with two perspectives: where life will lead you - we never expected that this would be the scene we were looking at 10 years ago; and that this is also "Timelessly Canadian".
I hope you can see the beauty that I see when I look at this.

love the clarity and landscape...but I think that because this was shot at (or near) the height of the day it is quite harsh in the lighting...

Pretty shot. Seems a little basic (color wise). But that's not a bad thing. It just goes to show the viewer the beauty that is seen with the naked eye. Nice composition (though I think I would have included the entire boat, and not cut off the bottom). But very serene shot.

This doesn't feel like art. Getting rid of the sapling in the foreground, higher contrast and more depth of field may help.
