Unprecedented to have ice in this lake in August! Dana Creek feeds this lake, but is is an underground creek, under that large moraine, which is not for the faint-hearted.
This 3 frame focus stack shows outstanding lens performance at 20mm. Possibly it could even be a little better, but it’s tricky on the retouching (ripples and lighting changes on the water being the challenge to retouch).
