Derwent Water Photo

Photographer’s Note

View of Derwent water and Keswick from Wala Crag. Derwentwater, at 3 miles long, 1 mile wide and 72 feet deep, is fed by the River Derwent catchment area in the high fells at the head of Borrowdale, and has a long historical and literary background. There are four islands, all owned by the National Trust, as is much of the shoreline. The Lake is very much a landscape of moods, varying from the dramatic waves splashing against Friar's Crag when driven by southerly gales, to the absolute mirror calm of early mornings.

Wow what a view! I especially like the clouds and their shadows. Very crisp image, although maybe a touch oversaturated. Nice work!

Hi Fara!
What a wonderful general view of the place!
High pov, sharpness, exposure and colors are all excellent! The simple composition is pretty effective to present this place so nicely to all of us!
I really enjoy the landscape with so many interesting details (lakes, vegetation, towns)!
TFS - congratulations!
My warmest regards and greetings from Brazil,
Neyvan

Dear Fara

This is an almost surrealistic shot, but the sun beams can make a great difference to any picture. It's a beautiful colorful picture like a post card with great DOF, vivid colors and a lot of details. You must have had a very nice day. Well done

Best regards
Urs
