Bâlea Lake, a photo from Sibiu, Ouest

Photographer's Note

Balea Glacial Lake is a real monument of nature (formed in a glacial circus), is 360 meters long, 240 meters broad and 11 meters depth. Situated at 2 034 meters of altitude, the lake is between the Defileul Oltului (Olt Canyon) and the foot of Piatra Craiului Mountains. It is accessible by car during the summer, and the rest of the year by a cable car from the “Balea Cascada” chalet.

Since 1932, the lake and about 180 hectare of land around it were declared scientific reservation. It must also be mentioned the fact that the first ice hotel in Eastern Europe was built near the lake in 2006.

Ciao Ovidiu
una foto molto romantica anche se l'atmosfera cupa non attrae sicuramente i vacanzieri.
Molto bella la composizione e mi piace in particolare la presenza delle pietre in primo piano che riempiono molto bene la parte bassa della foto.
La nitidezza è eccellente ed anche i colori sono molto ben dosati.
Gradevole anche il soggetto.
Ciao e buona domenica
Romano

Hi Ovidiu
What a mood there is here! The low clouds are fantastic in this scene, and really create a great sense of this place. I love your superb depth of field created by that large rock in the foreground. The mist looks like it is coming down to envelop those buildings! Great shot, thanks
All the best
Noel

Hi Ovidiu,
This is a beautiful place, clicked by a number of artists from Romania. Some have included the reflections, others have presented this place with a close up and a few members have presented this place with life in the shot. You have presented this place with a new POV, in a vertical frame.
Wish you had included some one jumping from the stone, as none has ever tried this.
This dwellings always seems to be surrounded by clouds. Whats the secret of this dear?
Regards,
Rajeev

Bonsoir, cher Ovidiu,
Excellente idée de cadrage, l'utilisation du premier plan est parfaite pour inciter le regard à se porter sur le sujet principal.
Une image qui respire avec cet effet de relief.
Très bien vu.
Amitiés.

Hello Ovidiu
Excellent idea of framing, the use of foreground is perfect to make the eyes to focus on the main subject.
An image that breathes with the relief effect.
Very well seen.
Kind regards

Salut,
Ce bine si ce racoare e acolo vara...E minunat, liniste si pace dar devine din ce in ce mai aglomerat...
O saptamana cu spor!

Hello Ovidiu,
a fascinating natural scenery with captivating atmosphere. I like very much the deep view and the way it's laid out in a vertical frame. Starting from the the bottom border there are several layers of interest, there's also a fine perspective and an intriguing sense of symmetry. The light is uncertain and unusual, it creates a unique mood and special colours. The two buildings in the distance are very attractive. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great week,
Ourania

Belle journée

Ciao Ovidiu, fashinating misty composition, great POV on beautiful lake, nice reflections, superb perspective, splendid light and wonderful soft colors, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Hi Ovidiu
Lovely foggy scene in natural cold colours rendering a moody effect with the chalets as effective points of reference. You still have got great dof and good lead in to work with guiding the eyes into the whole lake view. I like in particular, the atmosphere and the whole feeling of the picture. Great effort, well done. TFS
Best regards

Buna Ovidiu!

Imi place dramatismul ceturilor care se lasa peste lac in fundalul imaginii. foarte buna si inadrarea pe verticala cu stancile in primul plan!
