[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
10 pm midsummer at Lake Khovsgol after a day hike to Jankhai. I liked the subtle colours, & gorgeous cloud reflections. The vivid red of the 'rubber ducky' added a nice splash of colour.

Slightly smaller than my usual size of 200 kb, because the Mongolian Lab only burned them to cd, at 100 kb. I tried enlarging, but just lost too much detail & sharpness. But I still thought it was worth uploading.

Hello Chris,

Sensational photo, I particularly like the perspective looking down the stairs. The water is still and mirror-like in this exposure. The narrow slice of well-lit cloud close to the horizon illuminates the water well. Good sharpness and overall quality, saturations are realistic and appealing to the viewer. The FG s full of interest and the DOF is well extended. Great job.

Matt

Hi Chris
Wonderful reflections on the water, beautiful tones and colours in this very good composition. I like your POV with the stairs in foreground
TFS and greetings
Aires

Hi Chris,
still amazing from the colours and a good POV looking downstairs. The rubber dinghy is a good subject for the focus, even strange in that surrounding.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Bonjour, mon ami Chris,
Une photo qui donne des envies d'évasion. Il ne me faudrait pas longtemps pour m'emparer de cette embarcation et d'aller faire un tour des lieux !
Image qui fait rêver !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Chris,
A very pretty well composed scene making good use of the little wooden pier. I like the soft light and colours and the hint of a reflection in the lake. Very peaceful to behold.

Hi Chris,
A good view on the calm lake, soft colors, dramatic sky, 10 pm is for me night time, but here almost a midnight sun!..it makes us feel to go down the stairs, take the dinghy and go for a round on the lake!
Greetings
Laurent

Hi, chris. The stairs in the foreground are a good lead-in pointing towards the clear waters of the lake. The dinghy adds some contrast in the foreground and good depth. Good view towards the mouintains on the opposite side.

Hi, my friend!
Today I see view from Mongolia. Very interesting view with good composition. I never been in Mongolia. It is very big country. Good colours and light. Beautiful all your nature.

The hour taken gives it whole new dimension, maybe an insomniac boat on the lake midway would have been better, but considering the overcast conditions this is pretty eye catching, aah those 3rd world scanning labs, hit and miss, once they'll do an outstanding job for a song, next you'll have to rescan your photos at home.

Hi Chris,
Reflections is wonderful, colors and sharpnes very nice. Well done.

Bonjour Chris,
un paysage très bien choisi et un cadrage qui donne beaucoup de profondeur.
La bateau ici, n'est pas des plus esthétiques, il ne cadre pas bien avec le décor. Le ciel est magnifique et je pense que tu aurais pu en tirer plus de contrastes.
Regards.
Daniel.

Hi Chris,
Your composition is excellent here. The inclusion of the stairs and the boat leads us into the shot. The reflections in the water is also very good.
Well done,
Shaeri

Hi Chris,

Des couleurs et une composition bien personnelles, et reconnaissables.
Belle image.
Marie

Very calm photograph, Chris, the wooden tiles are an excellent lead-in element and the boat provides a neccessary focal point...

Cheers
Alexander

This photo is simple, but I like its composition, great POV with nice reflections of clouds in the waters of the lake...
TFS !
Regards,
Cath.
