The lake creating after a dam stop the flow of river Acheloos, and Hydroelectric power station creating.
You can see very clear that the level of water is going down and down year by year by climate changes.

Hello Chris,
beautiful view of the lake, enhanced by the bright and so vivid colours. I like the great dof given by the wonderful sky with its fluffy clouds. Excellent quality throughout with great sharpness.
I like it.

Χρήστο γειά
Νομίζω οτι είναι οτι καλύτερο έχω δει σε θέμα φωτογραφίας από μέρους σου. Είναι τέλεια σε όλες τις απόψεις και σε βαθμό απίστευτο. Χρώμα, ευκρίνεια και φωτισμός για σεμινάριο. Τι να πώ, μπράβο και λίγο θα είναι.
TFS.
Χαιρετώ

Indeed very visibel the low level of the waters it adds also a beautiful contrast with the blue and green. The clouds make the all scene even more beautiful. Is the blue the real color or created at PP?
Wonderful work

Hi Chris,
Beautiful deep blue lake panorama. Impressive clouds on that polarized sky. Beautiful landscape even though bare ground above the waterline reveals it's a reservoir.

A stunning panorama. The lake, the mountains and the sky are so vivid and vibrant that they seem to stick out of the picture.
Excellent composition. why don't you post the larger version?

Very nice pano work. Impressive colors & saturation. It looks like a holiday post card. I'm wondering about the advantage LightRoom to Bridge CS3 at RAW conversion & initial post processing. Thanks. Latiff.
