Scenic views at Beris Lake, a photo from Kedah, West

Photographer's Note

Deep in the hill and mountain region of Kedah there are some artificial lakes, among them the Beris dam lake is most probably the most scenic. It is more then one hour drive from the PLUS highway along an endlessly winding road till suddenly you reach the picturesque lake surrounded by evergreen hills. Here also are the only vineyards of Kedah, where not wine but grape juices are produced.

On request from several TE members I have added a photograph of grapes growing in the Beris Lake vineyard in the workshop

Hello Urs,
An image with great depth that perfectly suits the vertical format. The orange tinted water in the foreground makes an excellent frame for the reflected clouds. I like the lighting and overall tonal palette very much. Excellent clarity as always.

Hallo Urs,
zunächst sind es die harmonischen Farben und das stimmungsvolle Licht, das den Zauber dieses schönen Bildes ausmacht. Es ist wie gemalt. Und dann ist es die Komposition, mit dem künstlichen See im Vordergrund und der sanften Landschaft im Hintergrund unter den schönen Wolken. Ein sehr eindrucksvolles Bild!
Herzliche Grüße,
Harriet

nice shot. Beautiful colours. Excellent framing. Light is well managed. I like the reflection in water. The mountains in background are superb. Excellent composition with the foreground colours under water. Tfs.

Interesting information Urs. You got photos of the vineyard? I have not personally seen grapes growing on Malaysian soil yet. Selamat Hari Raya to you Urs. Latiff.

Hi Urs
A scenic lake and your good viewpoint! Clearly detailed, impressively crisp and I find the color is far less garish and more realistic with just the right tones. The warmly clear shimmering water and the golden colour of the fg attracting the eyes while the stunning cloudscape provides the necessary focal. I go for the calmness and tranquility. Well done.
Kind regards

Hi Urs
Merveilleux paysage, j'aime la transparence de l'eau et les couleurs sur l'avant plan, les reflets , les piquets sur l'eau, la profondeur offrant un paysage aussi attirant sous un ciel superbe
Belle journée

Hi Urs!
I hope the juice is good! I like the shot here - the format, the colour of the water in foreground and those poles. Even the sky was on your side:)!
A good shot of this place!
