WOW.. thanks everybody.. It was a cold dreary day, both mentally & physically the day I took this..
There is lots of emotion tied up in this photo for me.. it was the 26th Anniversay of my fathers passing and living amost 14,000klm's away from my family.. I felt very much like this lone goose.... Cold and alone yet surrounded by beautiful scenery!
Thanks again for your support... it is awesome..
For those interested.. I actually took this on my iPhone4 and converted with an Instragram filter

I thought those Mountains looked farmiliar. Banff is one of the best places to visit to take amazing photos in all seasons. Miss you Canada.... Love the photo, you get such a sense of what it was like on that day.

Location
Vermilion Lakes, Banff CanadaTime
around 3pmLighting
It was mid March in Canada and while winter had officially ended, this day was particularly overcast. They day's had only just started to get longer andEquipment
haha.. I'm slightly embarrassed by this.. this photo was taken with an iPhone4Inspiration
I was living in Calgary at the time and missing home I decided I needed to get out into the mountains. The Vermillion Lakes are one of my favorite places in Banff. They are not touristy like Lake Louise or Moraine Lake just further north, so it's easy to get time to yourself without the crowds. Everything about this scene just seemed to sum up how I was feeling. It was the 26th anniversary since my Dad had passed and I was living on the other side of the world to my family. The ice was melting from the lakes and the mountains were still capped with snow, it was cold and the Canadian Goose in the center reminded me of me. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and amazing places - but out of place and alone in a world where I felt I didn't belong anymore. I had grown up in a small Northern Victorian town in Australia, surrounded by an amazing family and was so not used to the Canadian winters.Editing
Yes, I actually used Instagram and the filters provided within the app.In my camera bag
Normally I carry A Nikon 5100 plus the two factory lenses that I got with the camera - 55mm and 300mm lens.Feedback
I think that if you really 'feel' the scene and are in it yourself (thoughts, feelings, etc.) you have a better chance of being able to capture the emotions, feelings within the photo.
