The first hours of the second part of the year - early morning of 16 July in a Belarusian village. Calm air, warm water, no insect, no sound...

Aleksei, there is something very poetic about your lovely photograph :) Very soft and calm. That piece of grass add something additional. L.

Incredible shot! I like its subtlety, a kind of a Chinese feeling ;-) Those few plants, mirroring in water are terrific! Also colours. Congratulations!

hi Alek,
oh wow. simply beautiful. it's tresure. I would simply frame it and hang it from my wall. The line of small waves is certainly a high point here.
nice work!

A very calming photo, indeed. I especially like the reflections of the sun and grass in the ripple of the water.

This is a wonderful photo Aleksei. I'm surprised there hasn't been more interest in this one considering the attention more recent photos in your portfolio have received. The grasses rising from the water on the right elevate this composition, which is first rate. I love the gentle ripples in the water that work their magic on the reflected grasses and the rising sun. I can't help but wondering on a less poetic note whether some of the murkiness in the middle of the image is the product of air pollution. The brown cast suggests it isn't simply morning mist, but I may be wrong.

Your Gateway camera does very fine work in rendering colors and details and you clearly have an eye for composition. That makes for an excellent combination. Keep up the good work.
