Photographer’s Note
In spite of the name, the water only becomes green when there is wind, when the color of the weeds stands out. The picture was taken at the beggining of the morning, when it was still very cold and there was some snow by the lakeside.

Beleza de foto, Alexandre. A composição, apenas com o reflexo já estaria linda. Com os elementos do primeiro plano, ficou ainda melhor.

Nessa hora então é lagoa azul, prefiro mais o verde, azul é coisa de Marias e foquinhas! hehe
Gostei da simetria do reflexo da montanha, muito bom!
Abraço!

Hello Alexandre
I have to admit that this photo, despite it being a bit too centered to my personal liking, is quite good.
The direct approach to the mountain looks great, colours are well preserved and you have shown a littel bit of everything you experienced at this magical place.
Thank you for sharing.

Olá Alexandre,
Não tenho a certeza de que a neve em 1º plano, com o sol a incidir de lado e a realçar as texturas, não prejudica um pouco a compo, mas de qq forma, é uma das coisas que a torna ainda mais interessante. A montanha e o seu reflexo no lago semi gelado tem um ar... mágico.
Uma linda foto!
Um abraço, José.

Olá Alexandre,
o que mais de atrai nessa composição é a perfeita profundidade de campo que você conseguiu com essa tomada. A nitidez desde os blocos de gelo até a imponente montanha ao fundo deram o tom da foto. Uma belíssima imagem!

Hello Alexandre! Very well done and the vertical format works perfectly here. I detect a slight tilt on the water surface but other than that the composition is perfect with great foreground interest leading us nicely to abruptly rising mountain.
Well done

Hola Alexandre,
Today I was having my daily trip in TE, decided to visit Bolivia and suddenly met this photo.Very well captured,nice symmetry and composition.I almost felt the cold of the snow at the top and lakeside.Maybe you can wait for a windy weather to capture the green colors of the lake too for us. Thanks a lot.

Hi Alexandre, hhmm this is a very nice shot, even the upper part of the compo with this mountain with its reflexion worth the pic ! And you add a good foreground with this snow frozen, this is really interesting and moody ... For sure potosi is a place to visit, perhaps on top of my personal list

Hi Alexandre,
First i thought that the snow was some agglomerated salt rocks near the shore :P
The lake looks frozen, and the volcanic formation at the BG stands as a giant figure in your compo. Its reflection is superbly captured. Here, the vertical cadrage is the best possible imho. Very good photo. Congrats,
Deniz

Exelente foto, con contrastes muy buenos en verdad, loq ue se ve al principio parece como borax, me imgino que puede ser sal tambien, o algun tipo de cloruro. Pero el volcan reflejado es exelnte, hubises sido perfecto si no hubieses cortado las orillas para ver el resto del volcan, sinembargo a veces no entendemos que aveces nos e puede por que hay un carro, un anucio o algo que no arruinaria la foto, asi que entiendo perfecto esto
Saludos amigo y que tengas buen fin de semana

Hello Alxandre,
Very good shot you have here. I love the POV and the vertical format really accentuate the depth of the landscape. What a majestic volcano and it reflection is so well captured. Very good composition. Sharpness and clarity can be just a bit better if I want to be picky. Otherwise very nice. I was debating wether to go to Bolivia this year, but ended up decided to go to Argentina next month. Bolivia will just have to wait for me. Thanks

Hello Alexandre -
I like the reflection and the ice/snow leading us into the lake. Exposure, etc., are spot on the money. I have this feeling that the scene is a bit cramped and mountain could use a little more space on the left and right. Also I detect a slight skew to the image - tilts left a bit. Otherwise, very nice in deed.
Thank you for sharing.

Olá Alexandre,
Esta imagem tem uma estética incrível. A montanha é belíssima, quase simétrica, formas harmoniosas e ainda por cima refletida em um lago cristalino. Estas formações encrustadas à margem fazem a composição ainda mais interessante. Magnífica, parabéns!

Hi Alexandre,
The reflections on the water of the lake are assets to the composition. The point of view leads my eye toward the summit of the mountain which is giving depth to the composition. The morning light is enhancing the colors of the svcenery. Have a nice day.
