Hi Niek,
Wonderful landscape shot. Nice details on those trees and the reflection looks awesome. Great place to be at and the warm sunlight makes the environment look golden. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi Niek!

Quality loss is not that recognizable I think, but the square format is a hit for this composition, it was really worth! Colors and reflections are wonderful, the mood is very nice, TFS!

Best regards,
Andor

Hello Niek,
You certainly seem to have enough water in your vicinity! This is a beautiful view from a fine POV. Lovely light and fine reflections.
We're lucky in Sweden as we have right of access everywhere but nasty fences can still hinder you from getting past. I wonder what this nature reserve will look like in the summer - will it dry up?
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hi Niek!

It was a good idea to wait a bit, also a good idea to only capture the indirect light of the sun. This scenery is just a beauty! And it's very well put on stage: the composition with the trees on the right and the light falling in from the left is marvellous. he border line between the water and the ground leads us into the picture and gives it a good depth of field.

More important than all this is the fact that the picture has a very pleasant atmosphere, that it's just a pleasure to look at.

Kind regards

I like the composition you chose Niek. The curve of the foreground grassy area leading to the three threes in nice. I always like groups of three. Three and one makes a nice balance. I like the low light angle too. The gradation of the sky from dark at the top lightning as it goes down is effective ( more filter effect????) All in all, it is quite lovely.

This picture is superb, Niek, from the light to the silhouettes, the sky, the lake, the beautiful light on the grass at the foreground, not a single detail without its very own place. Tranquility and beauty emanates from this image, bringing peace to the viewer. Thank you!

Hello Niek,
Maybe this is the most moody light of the day, just before the sun sets!
The lack of wind gives great reflections, and the fine network of naked branches looks good against the pale winter sky...
A well balanced composition, where the fine light sets the atmosphere!
Greetings,

Hallo Niek,

Je kan al deze opnames haast aan elkaar plakken lijkt het wel. Of zitten er teveel gaten in. Lijkt me dat je dan een schitterende panoramafoto krijgt. Maar deze opname mag er ook zijn hoor. De lage stand van de zon geeft er toch wel iets sereens aan. Vooral aan de uiterste linkerzijde en niet te vergeten het gras op de voorgrond worden heel mooi aangelicht. De reflectie in het water is magnifiek. Wderom een mooi stukje nederland op de gevoelige plaat (-: gezet. Prettige dag en tot TFS BOB

Love this photo with the late sun setting in the distance adding its golden light and hightlights to your photo, excellent POV with the tree in the background and the two nearby. Somehow life always goes on! TFS
