Kreuzteich Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

About a 10 minute footwalk from the "Grüner See" (my previous post) is the Kreuzteich. Very shallow and as clear as the other lake. Yet this lake is the same all over the year.

Hello Andreas,

Nice reflection!
I just went to your gallery and you do have some nice work there. I like it. You go for landscapes that have something dramatic, be it in the colour punch, reflections or depth of your compositions. I'm not the biggest fan of the 'slow waters', but that is because it's a specific specialism and sometimes looks a bit cheap.
Only thing would be that some compositions feel overly balanced. Balancing is good, in exposure, but if you really center your subject hor/vert it cam become a bit static. Then again, you make up for that with great colours and reflections ;-). Nice work!!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hallo Andreas!
Das machen wir auf Deutsch! ;-)
Ein begeisterndes Foto - in jeder Hinsicht. Du warst ganz offenbar zur richtigen Zeit dort, denn dieses Licht in den Felswänden ist einfach "Gorgeous", wie man hier sagt! ;-)
Grüße aus Westfalen!

Hallo Andreas,
Ein wunderbar gestaltetes Foto. Mir gefällt besonders die Reflexion des Berges im See. All technischen Elemente (Farben, Schärfe, Kontrast, Perspektive) sind hervorragend. Gratulation!!!
Schöne Grüße,
Natascha
