[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Ulviksfjord in Norway is an arm of the Hardangerfjord. Here the Ulvikfsjord is around 55 meter deep, whereby his bigger brother Hardangerfjord reaches easily 600 meters.
The little village Ulvik is situated at the end of the fjord. Very far away from the open sea, about 160 km. Of course the water in the fjord is sea water, and you can also spot the influence of the tide.
The village Ulvik and the surrounding is very pittoresk and silent.
Very often you are rewarded with outlooks like this, a very calm and flat water, reflecting the mountains and clouds.
The clouds in Norway are beautiful in summertime. The conditions are changing frequently and so are the forms and the shapes of the clouds. Every time again it is very interesting to spot the sky and capture this fantastic landscapes and clouds.
Hope you like it also.

Salut Ruud

Wow. Great shot. Incredible subject! My only suggestion is I think the composition would be a bit better if we could see the top of the cloud.

Hello Ruud,
wonderful seascape, great reflections and sky, nice colours!!! Very clean and peaceful scene!
TFS and best wishes,
ELena

Hello Ruud

Hi Ruud

Beautiful landscape. Love the reflection! :-)

Hi Ruud,
lovely landscape, this is how I remember Hardanderfjorden when
I was vist Norge for a long time ago.
It must have been a very calm day, the water is like a mirror.
Lovely colours, good composition with a nice deep.
The reflections are so nice.
Excellent work.

Ruud, wat een plaatje, zo mooi windstil en dan een prachtige lucht en dan natuurlijk de spiegeling in het water. Petje af.
Groet,
Niek

Hi, Ruud.
Very nice landscape! Excellent reflection and colors. Well composed. Good depth.

Hallo Ruud,
Man, als ik die mooie foto's van Noorwegen zie wil ik er zo weer naar toe.
Ze geven volledig de sfeer weer die wij daar ondervonden hebben.
Groeten,
Rein

wow, impressive landscape,
wonderful photo, ruud! :-)
it has everything:
nice blue sky, puffy white clouds,
green hills, trees and water, that
looks like a mirror.
superb job, thor.

Hi Ruud,

This is another beautiful landscape image. It looks technically perfect to me. It's a nice, comfortable image to just sit and look at and imagine being there.

Cracking photo. I love that reflecdtion. I wonder how a polarizer would have done on this one

Ruud

I seem to have managed to miss quite a few of your pictures whichis a great shame. I really like this one, you have captured the area exceptionally well (I have been there a couple of times) though there is a touch of OE in the clouds, a grey grad fitler woudl have helped here.

the composition is excellent and I love the reflection...

Emma

What a perfect reflection, just like a mirror. Great blue sky and beautiful surroundings.

Alli

Supermooi!!! Prachtige spiegel en erg mooi kader.

Hi Ruud,

Many thanks for your warm welcome and positive comments, in return can I say that I love this image of yours, I visited the Norwegian Fjords as a child and this takes me back there wonderfully - reflections are amazing and the colours so vivid. I will keep an eye on your photos!

Hello Ruud,
It's an amazing place. I like this northern sky and a very characteristic light. I love these colours too!
Best greetings,
Michal

Hello Ruud!
Very beautiful seascape woth perfect light, colourationa, POV and DOF. I like it a lot! :)
The only detail I do not like it the ship seen on the right :)
Best greetings,
Radomir

Great shot with beautiful colours and nice composition. The reflections of the blue sky and mountains look beautiful. Also the small white structure at the right breaks the pattern, which looks great. Thanks for sharing.
