Splendid reflections. The horizon, centrered, is in the best place for this pic.

Very good picture, the reflections, the colours and the light. Maybe the composition is a little bit aou of balance because of the 1/3 water in the front (on the right it is OK). Neverthless I like it!

Fantastic
Great great great! I might have too cropped a tiny bit on the left but this picture is something!
If I may add you did use HDR technic wonderfuly since it isn't too obvious as are many others.
Ryan Carter , September 10, 2006; 05:47 P.M.
I am amazed at the calmness of the water...Nice shot...

Maciek,
Piekne! I would crop at the sides a bit, especially at left side, and lighten up the corners a bit. Thanks for sharing

It would be a really great photo if you left it just as it is.

Nice shot, good colors and reflection. Very beautiful place, DDD

Stunning photo. You did a great job of making it look natural, most people using HDR fail hopelessly in this respect. So far I use HDR only in architecture photography, but this is very inspiring to also use it for landscape.

balance
This is a remarkable picture in many ways: it's rare to see water that is so still, the clouds forming an almost perfect arch, and stark contrast in color provided by the red boats. Did you use a neutral density filter to balance the lighting?

Surrealistic Dream
Absolutely beautiful, it's nice to know that beautiful places like this still exist - especially when you live in a concrete jungle.

Hi, I really like the shot. The depth is great. One question: is this an HDR image?
Judy Bartlett , August 17, 2007; 06:13 P.M.
Beautiful
Like a dream. Gorgeous composition. The light is perfect and very compelling.
Rob Andrews , August 17, 2007; 07:13 P.M.
Perfection as it is...
I've seen a few make comments about cropping this picture but the brutal truth is that this picture is perfect as it is. Cropping any of it takes away from the image whole and honestly taking anything off of the left side completely takes away from this image.
This is a spectacular picture. The lighting from the left side and the shadow cast is a wonderful dynamic.

Stunning!
The picture simply jumps out at you in a way that is hard to describe. I am almost waiting to hear the chirping of the birds... We would love to see more of your work.
Was wondering if you have ever done any aviation photography in Norway from a microlight trike? If you are interested, the perspective from our amazing two-seat open cockpit machines might be inspiring.
You can see the video and photography work of our pilots from around the world at our website: http://www.trikepilot.com

Awesome, great composition, bravo!
Hugh McWatters , September 28, 2008; 02:20 A.M.
Amazing photo. Fantastic job on the HDR. I would cry if I took a photo this good
Malcolm Parr , October 29, 2008; 11:14 A.M.
Very nice, I really like the way that the mountain is reflected in the water but the building isn't (well not very much anyway). I think in that way, the central horizon works really well.
Excellent shot and processing.

Beautiful and inspiring.
Can't believe this is HDR.
I love the way you did it!

wonderful colors and light with good composition and very crispy details. The three boats are incredibles. Very good job

Although startlingly beautiful, this image has two flaws: the saturation has been stretched beyond believability and the horizon is not level. I offer a different version which I think has a much more profound beauty and is believable.
Regards,
Jerry
Michael Comerford , May 10, 2009; 06:37 A.M.
Stunning
Beautifully composed. A well balanced exposure - long enough to get the reflection in the water, short enough not to blow out the highlights.
Exceptional

Nice
This is an example of HDR at it's best in my opinion. It's an image that would be almost impossible to capture with traditional means, but it doesn't go over the top as so many HDR images do. In some respects it is closer to what the human eye would perceive at the original location; that is it provides detail in both the shadow and the brightly lit areas. But at the same time the super-saturation of the colours makes the image more striking than the scene likely appeared to the photographer, though not so much as to make the scene look alien. Of course that's just part of it - the amazingly still water and the great composition turn it into a fabulous shot.

I think Jerry you are wrong, this image is fantastic as it is

Where is the munchkin?
Landscape with Munchkin
Lovely, but wouldn't it be even better if the munchkin who lives in that house came out to say hello?
(But if you go to the Annenberg Museum of Photography in Los Angeles and break something, the munchkin will disappear.)

Such a peaceful scene, makes me wanna live right in that house on the right.

Keith Reeder , July 26, 2009; 03:04 P.M.
So nobody else feels that the large dark cliff and its large dark reflection completely dominate and waste the entire left-hand third of the frame and ruin the composition then..?
Because I'm afraid it does.
Keith Kimberly , August 23, 2009; 11:22 A.M.
WOW !
Please forgive me if I offend any of those who have offered suggestions for improving this photo .
I have been an admirer of the ART of photography for many years and while I consider myself to be nothing more than an aspiring novice when it comes to the technicalities, I am for sure a professional when it comes to recognizing beauty...... This is IT ! I have seen many photos on various sites that I considered stunning and it never seems to fail that there is always someone who makes some comment about how it could have been done..... "Better"..... As I stated I am but a novice at this ART, but it would seem that I have a much better grasp on that very fact.....that photography is an art, than do some who consider themselves veterans or pros....photography is an ART..... and sometimes it is the subtle imperfections in a Work of Art that cause it to be that . I realize that there are techniques that will help, but does every shot have to be absolutely perfect ? It sometimes seems that we are all focusing so much on trying to find the slightest flaw that we waste time looking for those when we could have spent that time and effort enjoying a beautiful scene, or moment .
Ok I just needed to vent I suppose . Thanks for the privilage.
And to the talented ARTIST who shared this BEAUTIFUL photograph / work of art,..... Thank You Very Much ! Your talent is very much respected, admired ,and appreciated !
