Photographer’s Note
Taken last June during my trip to Norway..Please disregard the state and city, I completely forgot..it is a place I stop along the road while driving. It was a really short stay because my friend accidentally dropped his Canon 5D in that lake while I was taking that shot. Needless to say it really killed that great moment.

Very sad news. Can feel the gruesome moment, its an mind piercing frustration and helpless feeling at that time when you lose such an assest like a 5d.
Yet the pic is really great. Still i'd want to know the lens used and if later the colors were enhanced in this one.
Over all its a beauty.
cheers

Wonderful colos here; and i love the fog on the lake. Too bad about the 5d.
LE: I agree with cengiz. It's the same pic posted by 2 people. It's sad that this happens.

At first: sorry for your friend!
But this is a fantatic picture: almost surrealistic to me: the sharp red of the boat does not fit into it, but on the other hand "makes" this photo. It is in the perfect postion.
Nice pov.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful moment with us. Hope your friend camera still works.

Fantastic picture Pat, the colour of the boat against that setting is superb. Sorry to hear about your friends camera but I suppose you will both laugh at it years to come, thanks for sharing regards John.

Hi Pat,
Glad your camera didn't end up the same way...would have lost this super image. The selective saturation has worked very well.

Hey Pat!
First of all, sorry to read about your friend loosing his 5D - what a frustrating moment, to loose 3K USD in a sec like that...I had a similar incidence, only it was a 5 year old SLR (and even so, it ruined part of the trip...sad, very sad!).
Secondly, I was aghast to learn there was a miserable thief posting pictures of others under his copyright! Good to learn that he was caught and was kicked out!
Last but not least - great composition and take! Great warm colors of the boat with the tranquil lake and the early sun (or late) - I agree with arturo, indeed such theft happens to great photographers - Well done!!

This photograph is quite simply magic, a photograph of an imaginary world.
This photograph is very very calm and resting.
One photograph which one will like to be able to make.
all is perfect

Totally outstanding image. The red boat gives a wonderful focal point for the viewer and makes the image.
Brilliant work as usual Pat.

Superbe image !!!Le rouge de cette barque attire l'oeil et la brume qui vole sur la surface du lac donne toute sa dimension à cette image !
Bravo !!

Hi Pat
magnifique composition de ce lac aux eaux calmes qui reflète les montagnes, en plus de cette chaloupe rouge vif qui attend un passager, bravo.
