Καλησπέρα Πέτρο,
Καλώς ήρθες στο ΤΕ. Και έχεις ξεκινήσει με μια υπέροχη φωτογραφία από την λίμνη της Καστοριάς. Οι φθινοπωρινές αποχρώσεις ταιριάζουν στο ήρεμο τοπίο και με τις εξαιρετικές αντανακλάσεις. Τα βαρκάκια χρωματίζουν την απολυτή ηρεμία της λίμνης.
Καλή συνέχεια και καλό απόγευμα,
Χαιρετισμούς,
Μαρία

Hello Petros. Water and boats are a specialty with all photographic communities. In your photo, the landscape is very beautiful incorporated into the overall composition. The mirroring gewfällt me very well. The photo has a lot of peace and tranquility.
Best rgds, Wolfgang

Kalimera Petros,

Hi Petros
welcome to TE.
I hope you find it a friendly place to explore the world through our photos :)

Looking at this scene, there are SO many photo opps here. Its a beautiful place with calming waters acting like a mirror, reflecting the autumn colors.

the only fault with the scene is that there is not 1 single focal point - perhaps if you zoomed in on 1 subject it would make the scene easier for the viewer to focus in one area...do you know what i mean?

but please don't take me wrong :)
I love the scene, love the colors, reflections, and lighting/sharpness/exposure.

great opening photo for TE in your gallery.
looking forward to seeing more

cheers
craig

Hello Petros.
Great landscape shot with beautiful composition and warm colors, lovely reflections, congratulations.
Regards Robert.

Robert1969 (6238) 2012-12-06 2:32

Hello Petros,

Welcome to TE.

The picture is taken from a great point of view:
the path left and the diagonal lines of the
boat creates a nice depth. Composition and the
light managament are also great and the
reflction on the water is a nice extra.

Friendly regards,
Robert
