Reflections.... Photo

Photographer’s Note

The mirror calm water is cold, clear and extremely salty, holding sufficient quantity of lime to form a calcareous deposit, which cements the pebbles together in patches of concrete on its bank. It is believed that there are a large number of minerals in the basin of the lake, which result from the melting of the snow. The water sparkles in distinct shades of blue, green, purples and violet, being transparent to a good depth.

Beautiful capture of the pristine Indian mountains and clear lake. Nice reflection on the water.

Best regards,

Good capture of beautiful reflections, Vandana. In a shot like this, the waterline needs to be absolutely horizontal, though. I will do a workshop to demonstrate my point.

hi vandana
I had been keeping an eye on your gallery ... and looking at this photo, I thought it was the time to write something in your gallery.
btw ... all I want to say is that i loved the ride ... i liked the way you first posted the close up and than another close up and now the whole thing that makes us appreciate the view even more.
thanks for the series
cheers ... sarju

Hi Vandana,

Great composition, lovely reflections and appealing colours. The shot has a good sense of scale.

It is slightly underexposed - easily fixed with levels in this case - PixelTerror has shown this well

Serwus Vandana !
Two different ridges with their reflections make here an amazing frame based on triangles.
In my opinion, there is no need to correct the natural line of the lake, as it isn't naturally straight (as the horizon line of the sea, f.e.) And even if the Jean-Yves' WS is useful, i find underexposure in this image quite fitting :)
Only "cleaning" the sky from grain and small dots would be useful, imho.
Lovely Work.
Thank You,
Mat

Hi Vandana,
Another nice high altitude photo opportunity, the reflection looks great but here again some more PP would gain you some extra clarity, which is always a good thing, check out my workshop.
Have a nice week end,
Jean-Yves
