Ciao Sergiy
i miei complimenti per questa bella foto, che non solo coglie un angolo del mondo sconosciuto a noi europei, ma lo fa con una ottima composizione, ricca di colori e di eccellente nitidezza e contrasto.
Un bel soggetto che hai saputo riprendere nella migliore delle maniere e che hai saputo ben valorizzare.
Bravissimo
Ciao e buona serata

Hello Sergiy,
a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains. I like very much how the mountains grace the lake with their mesmerizing and suggestive reflections. Your picture has superb sense of space and very agreeable clarity. Colours and textures are so well rendered and the impression we get is quite vivid and delightful. The quality of the light is marvellous, a sheer joy to watch how it fills the space and affects the colours. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely week,
Ourania

Hello Sergiy,
We hardly ever get to see pictures of this country. So I'm very curious.
This is a splendid nature photo showing a stunning mountain view with a blue lake reflecting the mountains perfectly.
Interesting to know that the mountains occupy 93% of the total area of Tajikistan.
Excellent sharpness. Beautiful natural colours.
Best regards, Paul

Ну, тогда с возвращением,Сергей! да, красиво. А разве Александр дошел до тех мест? Я думал он был южнее гораздо. Я вижу некоторым людям нравятся посещать разные "горячие точки" в туристическо-познавательных целях ))
Красивые цвета, вода напомнила мне море в районе Корфу. А где-то около Курган-Тюбе у меня живет однополчанин. Хотел бы я его повидать.
Успехов и удачи!
Сергей

Hi Sergiy,
wow, this is a truly beautiful view. The lake has a lovely settings among those mountains which themselves have truly extraordinary shapes. The refelction doubles the treat. It works very impressive. I like also very subtle and all matural colors here.
It is so beautiful and the country is definitely underrepresented on TE so I am looking forward to see more from this trip of yours.
Very well done,
M

mirosu (16313) 2013-09-02 20:23

Hi Sergiy,
A very harmonious and pleasant image. I like very much the view to the bridge, natural sky patterns, light reflections in quiet water and the depth with which we are able to enjoy the to the well lit hill in BG. The play of light and shadow, the beautiful colors and their effective contrasts, the neat framing and the delightful atmosphere of the quiet water have produced a very elegant image. Well done. Greetings, Miro

Hello Sergiy,
Dream panorama with the mountainous formations reflecting beautifully in the turquoise lake. Marvellous light.
Is that a camp site on the shores ?
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards.
Marie-Louise.
PS. I think there is a slight tilt towards the left, which doesn't take any beauty from the place :-)
