[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Brissago is well known touristic place in Ticino, mainly fof German-speaking people, who loves the calmness of the lake.
In front of the village its islands, now a botanic park.
Historical note:
Brissago is near italian border. The village was under the influence of Visconti's family (a powerful family which ruled on Milan in the XV-XVII century). It decided to be under Swiss protection on 24 april 1521, St. George's day. The flag of the village still reminds this, having St. George on it.
Gastronomic (italian) note:
the picture was taken on the meadow of a Grotto Ticinese, well known in the region. In this small restaurant (as other grotto's) you can eat typical meals of the region, simple ut appetising.
Technical note:
EV compensation -0.3 to get more saturated colours.

Never heard of this place, but how nice to see this. Your pov is wonderful, the blue gradient of the sky is wonderful, just as the white clouds who are coming in.
Use of the pola filter was a good choice...well done..!!!

Serwus Stefano !
Outstanding deep blue in this well carried composition. Good and informative viewpoint. But i got impression, that the polarizing effect is a bit too strong - the mountains seems to be melting with the sky. Still, very nice and very "clean" Work.
Best regards,
M.

- Beautiful composition well colored, excellent idea for the PoV, good effect with the polariser filtre, well done!

Che bel panorama!! Le cime innevate sullo sfondo creano una magnifica cornice al lago, il cui blu profondo ben si mescola all'azzuro del cielo con le sue nuvole sparse.
Bravo davvero!

Bonjour Stefano,

C'est une très joli vue de ce lac. De belles couleurs saturées mais pas trop, et une perspective qui emmène le regard vers le fon du lac, vers les montagnes.

Cordialement, Laurent.
