Colors of Prsivec Photo

Photographer’s Note

The name of this impressive mountain is Prsivec. To appreciate the size of this structure and its reflection in Bohinj lake bear in mind that green patches close to the waterline are full-sized trees. I was not able to trace the origin of the word Prsivec. I would be tempted to do analogies with Russian language, but that could be misleading...

...North of the romantic Bohinj lake a broad mountain rises 1761 meters high. This is an old, dormant guy, because of low absolute altitude only its head is peeking out of immense forests, lying on its northern side. But, contrary to other Julian Alps summits, its south slopes are very steep, grassy and rocky - luckilly, because everyone is really looking to this mountain from the popular lake. Because its position right in the centre of Bohinj's world Prsivec offers a very nice panorama. Towards north - broad forests and the highest Bohinj Group summits, towards west - the broad romantic plateau of Komna; almost half of the whole horizon towards south is occupied with the South Bohinj Chain and towards east we can see the rest of Bohinj valley and the Pokljuka plateau above it. But perhaps the most attractive view is from closer distance. Deep below us lies Bohinjsko jezero, the biggest permanent lake in Slovenia.

It's worth visiting Prsivec any time of the year. Either if it's high hiking season, either if you want the deepest winter solitude. Either if you are coming to admire flowers, blossoming in spring, either if you are coming to see burning golden autumn larches. The tour on Prsivec has nothing to do with mountaineering bravery, but it's fine because of the special feeling of nature up there.

beautiful beautiful, just beautiful! probably the best reflexion that I've seen for a long time :)
very nice catch, and karst rocks give it some special taste with their nice color-saturation.
well done.

hi Vilus, photo is nice but too much work in PS. I think that nature coloures is better. Even if sky is not so blue and water not so cleare. this is too unnatural.

Hello Vilius
I'm discovering your gallery for the first time and must say that you have some superb work here. Like me, I see that you love nice vibrant colours and I don't see anything wrong with that! I think this is gorgeous. The image is of a high quality - nice and sharp which allows us to see much detail in the mountain. The reflections are superb. I shall be back!! Excellent work.
Best wishes
Mark

Hi Vilius,
I also agree with Mark in that you have some lovely work in your gallery.The colours and beautiful reflection are very attractive here and even caught my eye as a thumbnail.Nice and sharp with lovely detail both above and below....just the sky maybe needed a bit of toning down.TFS and have a good evening.
Regards, David

Very strange landscape. REflections in water looks clearer than mountain itself. Rocks have some strange green tint and this small part of coast in foreground looks strange with it's bluish cast.
But, all this elements together makes a good and interesting impression, it's not natural but since photography is before all author's impression of reallity I think that this is a good and fine landscape.

Hi Vilius,

Excelent capture. Very sharp and brillant. Very detailed reflection. The lake looks like very silent. Very intersting. Good work at PS. TFS

Hi Vilius,

this looks like something out of a fairytale. You can almost feel the bone chilling cold thanks to the clear sky and lake (even though it maybe wasn't even all that cold on the day you took the pic ;-) ).

pboehringer (770) 2006-12-31 21:54

Vilius, what a stunning and magnificent view you captured here. I was not active for a while and I'm a little bit surprised that your pictures are not more visited.
I simply do not agree with Marjan's assessment and encourage to process your photos just as you did it so far. PP today is what the dark room was in the past. great photographers did part of their job behind the camera and the other part was done in the dark room.
Happy New Year!
Peter

Hi Vilius!!!
It's one of the most richly detailed photographs I've ever seen :-) The stunning view of this perfect rocks is amazing. In my opinion the most beautyful part of this picture is lower part with reflection and the cold snow beneath You. Looks brilliant!

Cheers,
Pawel
