Very nice shot, the reflection in the ice is so beautiful, and nice framing with the focal point well decentralised.

Cheers

Hello Wolfgang,
Good capture of this classical architecture under a very nice winter's light. Good use of the vertical format to capture of the rotunda and the reflection. Very good colours and clarity.

Very nice and interesting angle although I feel that the picture is tilting a bit to the left. The colors are great though and the shade creates a nice bit of contrast. The reflection on the icy pond looks particularly beautiful.

Hallo Wolfgang!
Dieses warme Licht im Winter erstaunt mich immer wieder. Hier konntest Du es wunderbar nutzen, um diese wirklich schöne Szene festzuhalten. Die Struktur des Eises gibt einen guten zusätzlichen Effekt. Mir gefällt immer wieder der engl. Begriff "a fest for the eyes" ... hier passt's wieder einmal.
Grüße aus dem kalten und sonnigen Siegen - und "einen guten Rutsch"!

Hi Wolfgang.
Superb clarity and sharpness in this good composition. I love the way you composed it to fit in the castle-like building in the background on the right. Very nice reflection and good lighting. Good idea to take the shot with some people in it, a happy couple perhaps. A delightful winter shot on a sunny day.
Best wishes for the coming year!
Regards,
Andrew

Hallo Wolfgang,
Very nice point of view so we can see the temple and it's whole reflection in frozen water. Great light management too!
Happy New Year, my best wishes!

What lovely, clear light, Wolf! The temple, with the two figures serves well to act as a focal point to the lovely natural scene of foliage and reflections in water. regards Kevin

A very impressive gallery ;-)

hello Wolfgang

1st thing. Correct me if I am wrong, there is a slight tilt of the building tower. Perhaps it could be optical distortion due to your low angle?

But I do like your shot of this lovely POV. Very good clarity and bright light for your good advantage to show the focus sharpness with a bit of reflection on the water. The tall trees, blue sky...it all adds up to 2 words for you : Great work.

Happy 2009.

tfs, bill

Bonjour Wolfgang,
Merci de ta visite.
Très belle image ou l'on remarque bien que l'eau est en train de geler sur le lac.
Belles couleurs et jolie lumière, une bonne composition bien construite.
Amitiés et bonne nouvelle année photographique!
max

Hallo Wolfgang,
Wonderful compo, clarity and colours, which do good justice to the beauty of the place. The sun makes a bit of a contrast with the frozen water, but we all know that sunny days in Winter often are synonymous of cold.
Grüß, José.
