[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Mount Desert Island of Acadia National Park offers a variety of natural wonders. Among them Bubble Pond has always impressed me with its serenity. This photograph was shot quite late in the day. It was also my first and last adventure with a Sigma lens.

Hy Delic !

Very nice point of view. The reflection of the sky in the lake.

The colours are nice, but it is sad you didn't get more details en the right side because of the huge contrast.

I enjoy the fact that you got the rocks too, it really adds up to the image.

Regards,

Adrien

Hi Hakan!
A bit oversharpened but a great shot.Wonderful composition and perfect reflections.I see you used the magicvelvia film,the colors are fantastic.
Regards,Leo

A very nice combination of blue triangles, between the lake and the sky trapped between the hills. Excellent sharpness and shade effects with the stones in the foreground.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi Hakan,
I knew it, it could only be a Velvia who is producing these deep blue colour toning. A very serene and peaceful image in a great looking landscape. The rocks in front make good depth with a really superb reflection on the lake. I also like the trees on the left with some good detail in them. The clouds are nice, but i am more impressed by that blue gradient in the sky...truly wonderful.
Regards, Henk

Hi Hakan,
The dark evergreens wonderfully frame the vivid blue waters of Jordon Pond as the late day sky's clouds brilliantly reflect in the placid water below. The red clad hiker on the left ads a nice bit of definition to this peaceful photo.
Regards, Tom
PS I have a photo on Trek of my kayak resting along the side of the pond. In the afternoon this end of the pond can get quite choppy as all the wind funnels down towards this end of the pond.

Hi Hakan,
Wonderful symmetry and superb colors. The blue of the sky and the water is superb, and the sharpness wonderful.
Best regards. Salvator.

Merhaba Hakan,

It is a spectacular photograph in all aspect — in the colors, the gradations of blue, the sharpness, and of course the composition. Did you abandon the Sigma lens for some kind of shortcoming, or did you lose it?

This past Monday I had a visit from Metin Arik, and his daughter-in-law. Metin gave a seminar to the joint group of physics, mathematics and religion departments on "Mathematical Mosaics," the subject of his recent book. It was an excellent lecture. I had no idea in advance that it was his wife (and several of her students) who had been the victims of that horrendous airplane accident that you and I had spoken of.

Warm regards to your family,

Bulent

Hi Hakan,

wonderful image! Great colors and great composition! The view of mountains and sky, reflected in che lake create a magic view! It rememebers me a little one of my last shots

even if reflection and light are very different.
I don't know if you agree with me about this.

Very well done, compliments!

Gio

Hi Hakan!

Amazing mirror effect, perfectly balanced framing and composition, your were very lucky with the calm water surface. Excellent light managment, trully a spectacular photo! Congratulations!

Hello Hakan,

What a excellent perspective toward one point depth in background.
The alternation between the dark and the strong colours care for a very good composition.
It quiet water gives a wonderful image.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Merhaba Hakan,
I love the noise-free clarity of the deep blues. In addition to the harmonius symmetry you framed; other features that make this shot very attractive are the detail you captured in the shadowed shoreline, the FG rocks and the cloud and its reflection.
HLJ, Pat

Ah, the Bubbles! The shot is great but what I find very striking and a bit exceptional is the detail of the dark left-side shoreline. Must be that Nikon FA. Something I find hard to see in digital shots.

Hello Hakan,
You caught wonderful colours to enhance this peaceful view.
Regards,
Marianne

Olá Hakan, very beautiful reflection effect. It seems like an exercise I used to do in school...Anyway it has an attractive graphism and perspective and I feel myself beeing sucked to the most distant point. I can't imagine more calm than this. Excellent foreground with the rocks.
Regards,
ricardo

Hello Hakan,
The way to blue is somehow your beautiful composition.Also the dark tones made more attractive the blue color.I like the form and graphical effect also!

Have a nice week,
Thomas

Hello Hakan,
Excellent composition which is bringing a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The contrast is impressive (thank you Velvia) and the exposition is just right as the sky is not over-exposed.
A great image.
Have a nice day.

Hello Hakan
A calm atmosphere and beautiful strong reflections... even if a bit dark, details and colors are well rendered. Looks good!

Merhaba Hakan Bey!
It's an outstanding optical art capture. Reflection add surrealistic effect to the photo. Colors - too.

Hakan,
This blue is so eyectacher !
I like too how your compo creates 2 triangles.
Nice job.
Regards,
JB.

Hello Hakan,
I saw this photo a few days ago and it has grown on me quite a bit. You and I share the same cool color palette. We like the cool tones more than the warm tones. You created a beautiful abstract image which is enhanced by the high contrast. The symmetry is outstanding. A very dynamic photograph of such a peaceful scene. A very interesting paradox. Fabulous!

Hi Hakan,

superb work on this beautiful view. It looks a recent capture. The reflection is perfect. The only difference is the stones on the foreground. I like the bright that comes to my monitor looking at it. Great work!

Hi Hakan,

Bonjour Hakan,
une photo qui porte bien son titre,
un calme que l'on sent du ciel à l'eau, du manque de nuages au manque de mouvement sur la surface de l'eau, le silence. Une insolence de bleu, omni-présent.
-Regards.
Daniel.

Rengi, kontrastı, yansımaları, netliği ve ışığı ile harika bir kompozisyon. Ellerinize sağlık hocam, selamlar.
Ahmet

Hi Hakan, beautiful simmetry and great blue here!
i like a lot the composition and the stones in foreground..
very good view!
ciao!
Valeria

Olá Hakan

Esta foto não dá para comentar, é só para ficar admirando. Ficou lindo o reflexo do céu na água que ficou de um azul forte bem diferente. Gosto da textura das pedras também. Parabéns.

Hakan bonjour.

Superbe composition en sablier avec des bleus magnifiques et un premier plan de cailloux.
Jacques

Hi Hakan,
What a beautiful scene of tranquility.You can almost feel the silence and it must have been a pleasure to experience it.Lovely depth and the long exposure has caught beautiful deep colours.
Regards, David

Hi Hakan. You have captured a wonderful calm mood in this shot. Well composed with good foreground interest. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

The reflection of the sky is a deeper blue than the sky itself. A nice shot of this calm lake on a clear day. Maybe a bit lighter version of this would be nice too.

Beautiful shot.
I love the clearity and the colors of the shot.
Really impressive.
Well done!

Hi Hakan,
Nice view with so lovely reflections on water, good effect with a V composition, good light too.
