Lake Manapouri Photo

Photographer’s Note

My friend and I had been wandering around the lake for several hours and I had taken a plenty of assorted shots, then it eventually started darkening and we rushed back to the lighthouse where a boatman should have been awaiting to get us across the lake when within a moment the sky has turned from dirty grey to an intricate palette of blueish and redish tones. I could not help myself taking few more shots, one of which later turned out to be perhaps the best of that evening photosession.

beautiful colors! Does it need small rotation to the right? Nice reflection, and would have been great to see more of it. This is really sharp and great catch of time and space.

the right ligths seperated by natural darkness. Otherwise I join digi-mom in her critic

Lake Manapouri is a beautiful place and you catch it very well.
More reflections should have been better but a lot of coloured sky is great too.
Great shot.

I don't think it needs to be rotated, since it is simply farther to the distant shore to the right side, thus giving the impression of some tilt. But if you look at the horizon line, it's, well, horizontal.

Fantastic light, and the whole light-dark-reflection mixture is very well caught. Lovely ripples in the clouds, too.

(95) Although mbravo has a great point i have to agree with digi-mom it does need a litte tilt. it's not all that neccessary, it would just make that shot a little better. but otherwise its a great shot.
