Hi Valerie.
I am glad that you are here again with extraordinary shot and nice touching note.
You managed to catch really amazing scene. I welcome your impressive vertical framing. The colour palette and color passages are fantastic in their smoothness, delicateness at the same time richness. True art work executed with nice taste. My compliments and kind regards.
Remain with us.
Alexei.

Hello Valerie,
Glad to hear that your life has taken a turn for the better!
This a beautiful shot that summerises what is typical of the autumn: the colours of the trees, the slight mist and calm water of the lake. The composition is quite synbolic with the sunny blue sky at the top and the dark water of the darker times to come at the bottom.
great post!
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hi Valerie,
A really wonderful autumn view of this foggy, warmed up lake. It illustrate very well the personal history you tell in the note. Finally energy will clarify the darkest situation!
Take care and thank for sharing this optimistic view!

Hi Valerie,
A very special picture!
I like so much the mystic mood of it.
And you can't have described it better that in your notes.
The way the fog covers so gently the trees is very appealing to the eye. As well as the blue gradations on the sky.
I want o tell you that enjoyed a lot the reading of your notes, I would have liked to be also there (but excluding the cold ;-)
I'm so happy to read that you are happy again with your new job and that things are going on the right track for you.
My compliments for all that and the picture!
Thanks for share it and my warm regards,
JM

Hi Valerie and how great to see you back!

I too have just started a new job so i know how you feel :)
This is indeed a fantastic shot - a very original and refreshing one!
I really love the minimalistic composition and all that trasition between the different shades of blue. Absolutely wonderful. I actually liek the very dark blue from teh bottom of the frame the most...i think that because it's so deep, it really adds to the mood and drama of the scene given by the mist.
Simply splendid!

Bravo, TFS and welcome back!

Hi Valerie,
Nice to see you after such a long time. Hope everything is well settled now.
This is an awesome presentation and I like the ambience captured here. Superb lighting and exposure with lovely colours. The fog really creates a magnificent effect and translates this image into something dream-like. Great work with an excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi Valerie,
I ma gald to see you post again. Sorry to hear that you had lost your job, but great see that a even better job has been presented to you. Normally I would agree with you that a horizon should not be centered, but with this one not. I think the centered position works perfectly. The minimalistic approach is only made more powerful by the central position of the shoreline. On both ends there is emptyness and the mirroring effect of the reflection enhances the minimalistic feel even more. I find this photo so beautiful, that I have to add it to my favorites.
TFS,
Niek

Hi!
I like this picture for all the different layers, three in the water and three over. The combinations of color are really fine.
Its like a high decorative cake.
Except the fact that I never have seen blue cakes... :-)
TFS!
Best regards

Hola Valerie, ojalá pudiera enseñarte ese paisaje un dia. No solo eso, de paso degustarías algún vino de la región y algún plato típico :-)) Muchas gracias por tus comentarios. Tu fotografía original y diferente , con un atrevido formato.
Buen fin de semana: Josep Ignasi Tejedor

Hello Valerie,
A wonderful atmosphere has been captured!
So typical for the season when the sun is fighting with the fog, later the fog will always win...
A well framed scenery with subtle colour palette!
Greetings,

Bonsoir Valérie!

Je suis heureux d'avoir découvert ce chef d'oeuvre! Quelle paix, quelle tranquilité et surtout quelle sérénité dans cette image. Je suis persuadé que seule une personne d'une grande sensibilité peut réaliser une image pereille, une personne à l'image de cette nature tendrement belle...

Merci de l'avoir partagé avec nous!

Amitiés

Markus

Hi Valerie,

I am with you TOTALLY that you chose to keep the horizon in the middle. That rule is for general guidance only. But you as the artist have every right to decide and determine what looks best.

This picture proves that the artist made the right decision :-). Fantastic picture. PERFECT.

Keep posting and welcome back.

Warm regards,
Kiran
