Quiet before the storm Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another shot of this rowing boat from Lake Olden, Norway. Its not often that I come across such beautiful scenes, so when I do I usually take a few compositions. As I have only just processed this particular image, I think its my current favourite. But I would be interested to hear which you think is the strongest of the 3 from Lake Olden.

Nice image Adam; tremendous detail on the boat, I almost feel I could reach in and touch it. On the downside, the ripples in the water give the effect of a low quality digital photo - where you can see the blocks it is constructed from. Obviously this is not actually the case with your photo, but visually, I feel these ripples detract from the overall quality of the composition. I'm not sure I've put that very well - and hope you can understand my meaning?
Regards. Colin

Nice colourts of nature just before the storm. This are special moments of peace and calm air. I love your composition here and how deep we can see into a photo. Good texture of materials,boat, grass, water, stone.
Nice!

Hi Adam.

Your name came up on the forum as one of the great ones on TE, and I can see why. This is beautiful shot. I like the composition a lot, with the boat in front, the mirror image of the sky and the mountains. Just great :)

Juste perfect. The light is superb here, the colors are true and vibrant (amazing shades of green) and the composition lines give a very powerful image (boat vs slope, mountains and reflection). I love the water surface and the foreground detail.
Thanks for sharing,
Ioana
