Lake Sombre, a photo from Hokkaido, Hokkaido

Photographer's Note

Taken on a very cold, overcast day at a place caklled Mikasa in Hokkaido. Although I adore landscapes with wonderful colours I think the lack of colour here works quite well in creating a sombre mood. What do you think?

Hi Philip,

a beautiful nature in a cloudy sky you show but in a small size!
a nice symettry you seen and captured,the composition is very good,too.
the shot could be lively more if you worked it on photoshop with levels and sharpnes(USM) and contrast.
Thanks for posting,
Best Regards
M

Hi Philip,

I agree with you, it does have a sombre mood to it and the dark sky adds to that mood.
I like the composition, colours and reflection.
Well done!

Hi Philip,

beautiful ... meditative .. reflective .. I might boost a few of the colors a bit more I think you have a way to go until the feeling would be lost .. still wonderful ..

take care,

John

Hi Philip. Good scenery of this Hokkaido lake on what looks to be a very sold day. POV and colours are good. Murray.
