Hej Anders,

The place reminds me of the novel "De dødes tjern" by Norwegian author Andre Bjerke, the creepy story could well have happened in this setting!
Well framed and a super reflection of the old trees...

Greetings,

Hello Anders,
A photo with full of mood and summer beauty.
The colors are beautiful and natural. The reflections are amazing in the calm water. TFS.

Hello Anders,
it really looks like "a kind of magic"!
The trees and their reflection in the water remind me of old fairy-tales, too, - that's the very first thought and impression!
I would say, undisturbed silence and stillness fill the place. Very nice photo!
regards,
Elena

Hi Anders,

great shot, my friend. I'm amazed by the graphism provided by the reflection of those trees. Stunning work!

Hi Anders.
A very evocative shot, really suggesting the mysteries of this place. The reflection looks great and I like the inclusion of the two leaves in the bottom right corner. The stillness of the water and the straightness of the forest trees are superbly captured and very atmospheric. A lovely simple, almost minimalistic photo. It reminds me immediately of the novel I read - 'Blackwater' by Kerstin Ekman - have you read it? Fantastic book (translated into English of course).
Regards,
Andrew

Hej Anders,
I miss the big elk standing by the tarn. To make it complete you should also add a princess in white dr4ess and call her "Tuvstarr". But even without these attributes, this is really a very Nordic landscape and an excellent capture!

Hej Anders,
It seems that everybody else has already commented on all the princesses and elks missing from this picture, so I'll just comment on what there is: great reflections, a fine addition of the two leaves floating in the foreground and very smooth colours. Resulting, I guess, from a cloudy sky.
Ha det bra,
Gert

hej Anders,
I can easily see why such a place would generate legends and tales, it's easy to imagine all kinds of creatures living in that dark forest. the mirror-perfect reflection adds to the magic mood of the scene, and I particularly like the two leaves of the water plants in the lower right corner, that's a great accent. excellent work, my compliments.

regards,
Kristine

Hej Anders,
I agee with Gunnar, its a bit of John Bauer in this photo. Waiting of a troll looking out from the forrest or a little princess sitting looking into the water.

Hi Anders - I like how you fill the frame here with a lot of attractive greens, nicely using the reflections; with a nice graphical impact given by the long trees and their reflections... regards, Daniel
