Photographer's Note
We’re back from mini-vacation to Valday, beautiful region only 400 km northwest of Moscow. Relentless rains didn’t allow us to make many pictures there but one day we had a charming sunny morning...
Valday Hills, upland region, NW European Russia, composed of a series of glacial moraines that rise to 340 m. The region forms the watershed of the upper Volga, the Western Dvina, and the Dnieper rivers and also of the rivers that flow into Lake Ilmen. Numerous glacial lakes are found there. Fifteen kilometers long, up to 85 meters deep, Lake Uzhín is one of them. The lake is surrounded by age-old forest where fir, pine and birch are main tree species.
I sent a cropped picture as a workshop. What variant is better?

i prefer the cropped image. perhaps you could use a color filter to block some of the blue and boost the contrast on the water to make it an even better picture. anyway, nice shot. :)

Bonjour Nikolay,
Un lac comme on peu en voir en Belgique, dans nos Fagnes, entouré de conifères à part que chez nous, ce ne sont pas des lacs glaciaires.
Jolie photo reposante.
Daniel.

Hello Nikolay. That's too bad about the weather, but you sure made great use of the lighting here. I like the simple but beautiful composition. We get the feeling as though we're the only one around. Oh, did you see my shot "No More WTC". I liked your shot with the WTC from early 2001. At any rate this shot is beautiful, congrats!
