reflections in nature Photo

Photographer’s Note

Earlier today,
The location is Hok in deepest Småland. Hok is mainly famous in the area for its Golf course. But I find the nature around with a lot of deep Pine forrests very beautiful. The photo is converted to b/w. Framed and raised contrast. Its also my first b/w here on TE...

The title is dedicated to member "Lundell"

Hi Stefan, A very nicely composed photo, the B/W medium was a great choice, excellent reflections & superbly managed light, sharp with very good detail, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Stefan,

Ah, nice reflections! I do like the off center placement of the whole compo. I might have made the deepest blacks even blacker. There might have been some light mist over the land, but with a slight unsharp masking and curves you can let the darks jump out even more! But it's surely a nice composition you're showing us here :-).

Greetings,
Dennis

Ah...very beautiful...I love this!
Impeccable composition in my eyes, this is one of your best for me! Very fine-tuned work, such a peaceful feeling comes out of it.

I love your choice of b/w, wonder why ? :-), (hope you'll do some more...) the foggy mood, the minimalism here too...maybe a bit more contrast or saturation to make the black more deep black ?

Bon weekend, à bientôt!

Hej Stefan,
I don´t think that I ever saw a water surface as calm as this one. Nothing seems to be moving. There is no need for colours to show the peace and harmony in this landscape.

hej Stefan,
I thought I wrote something on this one, but... nepp...
It's BW but it looks really blue ant certainly has a blues mood in it, sort of deep småland blues.
good mirrors of cause, and silence a lot of silence in between the blues tones,
Yeah man

Hej Stefan,
tar det på svenska:
Hoppas att du har det bra i Syd Afrika !
Jag gillar din bild här mycket. Den ger signaler om nån slags lugn och stillhet, fotad i Småland men kunde antagligen vara tagen på många andra platser i Sverige med..Vackra speglingar i vattnet och härligt (morgon?)dis till vänster. Vackert kort!
Bästa vår hälsningar från Stockholm
