UPY 2018 Compact - Highly Commended
'Kootenay Lake'
Stephen Holinski

I have been visiting Kootenay Lake, and spending time on its rocky beaches, for the past 5 years. During these years, I have spent a few evenings trying to capture an over-under that showed the beauty of this wonderful mountain lake with clear mountain skies. To-date, the skies have yet to be clear on a night while I was shooting! In the summer of 2017, when this photo was taken, there were a number of forest fires burning in the region which provided the misty and beautiful pink hue to the skies.

Judge's comment: At first glance a subtle image, but one that required real precision from Stephen to produce. Especially when you consider the challenges of shooting split level images with a compact camera.
