Evening reflex Photo

Photographer’s Note

The pic was shoted at sunset in Kranjska gora in Slovenia. The faintly light was been right enough to make a beautiful reflex of mount Razor in the small lake, but I have had to overexposed the sky and mountains behind the lake.
I set a little longer exposure time on 1/25 sec and I open the lens on f/5,6.

Beautiful scenery. The evening light is really beautiful. Too bad that the mountains are chopped off, it works well like this, but personally I would probably prefer a view including mountain tops.

The sand "beach" looks really strange here, with the sharp green colors it seems almost tropical - a surreal contrast to the alps.

Maybe you coould crop a little from the bottom to make the shot symmetric. The bottom of the lake doesn't add much.

Très belle composition. Les couleurs sont magnifiquement rendues. Calme et reposant cet endroit. C'est très bien de nous faire découvrir le monde de cette façon, Max.
Bien cordialement.

I don't care about the overexpo, Max! It's so great the way it is. And by the way, if you can not see the mountain's top at the top, is intriguing that you can see it reflected at the lake. Great job!

Beautiful shot, Max! There are a couple of elements that add considerably to the interest of this reflection: the shoreline of the pond is curvy rather than straight, and we can see more details being reflected than we can see in the upper part of the picture. Nice work!

Superb reflection on the lake, I like the golden light on the top of the mountain. Maybe you could run the burn tool on the overexposed mountains to make it a little darker.

A great unaltered capture Max with the clear reflection and winding valley leading up to the mountains.As an alternative to adding some colour to the sky, you might even consider a cropping just below the sky line which would also leave you with the impression that the mounatins rise much higher on the sides.

Nice landscape. The colors and reflections are great, especially the reflections of trees. I also like the mountains in the background. Well seen!

Nice reflection. The overexposed sky does not bother me as this leads the eye to look for details on the mirror image. I like also the large size of the picture, ideal for such a beautiful landscape. Well done Max.

Great view but more importantly, thank you for writing up the details of your shoot. It is quite a learning experience for someone like me. The results are quite stunning and a true TrekEarth moment.

Trés jolie reflexion et une belle clartée sur ces montagnes quand au lieu il est vraiment joli.

Clochette (8076) 2003-11-26 7:23

A strong feeling of purity.
The mountains in background are over exposed but this is not an definite issue.
Very well done Max !

the reflection is beautiful. love the ripples in the foreground. wonder if you could select the mountains and deepen the contrast there. the sky also could be enhanced some. the broad expanse of water in the foreground adds a lot of depth to the image. very nice image.

Beautiful shot, nice composition and reflection. Nice scenery.
The pic is sharp and detailed.

Not only the reflection is nice, the landscape is even better. But noticed that the water is not very still. Wonder izzit a pity or not.

It is the light and depth of this photograph that captivates me most of all. I don't think I would like to see the bottom cropped, I think the expanse of the lake adds to the depth of the composition. A very beautiful place. Excellent.

I'm just sitting here with mouth wide open. Wow, you captured this beauty so well. The colors are just perfect and the lake with the reflecion of the mountains give sit all that extra bit of peace and quiet. Great work!

Great photo. Makes me homesick. I really like the reflection But I do wish I could see the tops also. Anyway it's great because it gives you a feeling like it's a bit foggy up there and you realize it's not only when you notice the reflection.
