Thanks very much! There weren't a lot of entries but my jaw sure dropped when I saw Kari's pano --- very nicely done.

Moraine Lake is one of those iconic spots in the Canadian Rockies, and a summer sunrise photo here is almost a 'must-have' for the landscape checklist. It has been sorely missing from my own portfolio, which was starting to gnaw at me. You need a pretty early alarm call to get there in time, but I finally decided to get it during a rare streak of sunny weather when I knew it would work out. Some canoeists were out on the lake also watching the sunrise, and when one of them started to paddle to shore they created a golden wake behind them in the ripples. I thought it added a nice touch to the shot, although you really have to zoom in to see it.

Congratulations, Jonathan! Lovely shot of a lovely place.
