Very very nice... a classic shoc of mountain reflexion on lake but here it is special because of this splash of light green in the middle of all this textured grey.

dabri (1692) 2005-02-28 13:18

I like this and the little waves in the water.
Maybe need to be tilted a bit on the left to make the water horizontal.

Excellent anyway,

Davide

eleparc (24059) 2005-02-28 15:29

this yellow glow versus the greyish sky and waters help make this shot a sheer beauty! it is breathtaking! thanks for sharing this! it brings a lot of emotions in me! Cheers

sandpiper (1631) 2005-02-28 20:45

For a grey overcast day you have produced a really good photograph. The reflections and dab of sunlight on the hill, coupled with the silhouettes of the trees is really good. Well done.

cam (8880) 2005-02-28 22:28

Well worth the effort of waiting.Good composition.

piekny pejzaz i ta harmonia, fota daje rade!

KevRyan (22418) 2005-03-09 18:07

Wow! What a great light - ethereal - not so sure about the overall composition - I would have been inclined to present less sky perhaps.

jolca (30) 2005-03-11 3:43

slicznie uchwycone, fajniutki krajobraz, po prostu bardzo dobre... pzdr Jolka

keribar (42760) 2005-03-11 6:59

One of the best nature pictures I have seen on TE ..It has so many assets, that one cannot avoid falling in love with this image. I would gladly hang it on my wall. Of course
the sun adds a lot on the hill, and it was right where
you hoped. Good shot Krzysztof,
Izzet

mitternacht (1836) 2005-03-11 14:13

Wow, the light on that hill is amazing. I'm glad you were there to capture it. I like everything about this picture, the reflections in the lake, the position of the horizon, the contrast between the green hill and the sky, the trees to the left. Well captured!

have a nice day,
Simon

Very beautiful picture. It took me along time looking at it, appreciating the beauty captured in your photograph. Perfect lighting. The sun came throught a little a shone on the right spot.

elihesamian (26091) 2005-03-15 8:37

Oh!!!
Indeed beautiful,and amazing,very dreamy and very attractive for eyes,no doubt,it's a strong nature shot,Krzysztof!
You have a lot of great elements in this shot which skilfully captured and composed in a best way:
-setting the horizon just in 1/3 of the lower part,
-wonderful light situation on the green hill which has an excellent contrast(as a great point for the shot),
-strong dark green in horizon from left to right of the frame with trees,wonderfully graphicial aspect it gives to the shot,
-very very beautiful and eyecatcher Reflection which is neat and calm.
-and a fine cloudy weather which helps you to create an atmosphere that isn't flat.
and finally:
Nicely COMPOSED,as I said!
I enjoy it very much.
Yes!...it's my Favorite,Krzysztof!
Sincerely
M

just superb..
a great work, only compliments.

Tu nic nie trzeba pisać. Można wyrazić tylko aprobatę dla tak dobrego zdjęcia. Świetny moment, świetne światło i kompozycja.

Brakuje ramki i może trochę ostrości ale to są " minor flaws"...

Pozdrawiam!!!

srabbe (1424) 2005-04-24 11:36

I really like the atmosphere of this photo.
The colors are wonderful, with just the light on the green hill, making a nice contrast between all these gray tones.
The shape of the black trees on the left adds some estheticism to the photo and contrasts with the smooth curve of the hill.
Wonderful picture

The sense of peace here, just wonderful. The contrast between light and shade is so beautifulyl captured and it makes me think that no matter what wonderful structures we produce, nature wipes the floor with us every time and leaves us mesmerised.

colinbrenchley (6133) 2005-05-07 4:53

Gentle pastel colours and reflections with the sunlight falling on the green hill in the centre gives a very well balanced composition.

hisam (90) 2005-05-14 23:50

hi Krzysztof:
This is a beautiful picture; I love the reflection, the color and the light
Congratulation

davy (231) 2005-05-21 11:46

Great capture, I love the way that the light highlights the hill and the light ripples only slightly distort the reflection.

I would say that I'd probably crop the top, but I see that you have left "nature at it's best" good work :)

Xalkida (11740) 2005-05-26 18:07

Wow! What a place! So much serenity, calmness, peace!

I like the water reflections, the special lighting and the superb sky! Great shot!

Krzysztof,

this is also very lovely shot with slightly different mood than the other photo. I absolutely love your intro page and fully agree with you and Ralph Crawshaw :)

scorfel (4067) 2005-07-18 14:38

Superbe!
Quelle lumière, avec ce reflet légerement strié par les ondulations de l'eau, et ce cadrage qui laisse une bonne part au ciel.
Bravo.

Nature at it's best and photography at it's best.

This shot is stunning! Your composition is well thought out, balanced and pleasant. Of course, what really makes this photo outstanding is the capture of light on the mountain and its reflection. So many of us try to get that perfect shot with beautiful light; usually sunrise/sunsets. But you have brought to us a unique view of nature that is truly amazing.

Thanks for showing us this one.

Deeb.

lotis (132) 2006-02-23 20:07

obviously the photo is very nice. if i can give you 2 constructicve comments, they would be tho following: i think the photo should be better centered, because the right side is lower than the left side, and maybe crop a little bit of the sky. but I am new to photography so you do whatever you want with the advice!
great photo
cheers

bishansamaddar (862) 2006-03-03 2:07

Lovely shot, wonderful composition and reflection. Great colour saturation and use of the DOF. It looks like a painting.

La lumière juste sur cette croupe verte donne une grande part de beauté à l'ensemble. La composition est très équilibrée et les gris de l'eau qui répondent à ceux du ciel sont sublimes.

PeterDF (292) 2006-07-08 11:38

Quite stunning and beautiful. Your notes really lend an air of reflection on such a pristine landscape.

jzguest (74) 2006-09-10 14:32

Characteristics of this photograph are so very appealing - the calmness of the water, which carries and undisturbed mood, yet this vibrant, secret source of warmth and light, in the distance, eminating from and out of the source frame. The mood is just surreal, with beautiful, sawtooth rides delicately balanced between the focal point and your proverbial sillouette of pines. In a very peculiar way, the waterline and treeline almost display a symmetric, seismic-like reading, which is the antithesis to such calm and beauty. Bravo!

pfrancotte (45) 2006-09-10 14:56

no word is enough to describe your picture. or... maybe... WOW!
