[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the view from the road as I pass one of the numerous forest lakes in the vicinity of Trondheim in Central Norway!

To get here takes less than one hour in the car, and quite a few people from the city have their weekend places in this area.

The lakes are populated by trout, that is the common name given to a number of species of freshwater fish belonging to the salmon family, Salmonidae.

Trout are usually found in freezing, clear streams and lakes, although many of the species have anadromous strains as well. They are distributed naturally throughout North America, northern Asia and Europe.

Several species of trout were introduced to Australia and New Zealand by amateur fishing enthusiasts in the 19th century, effectively displacing and endangering several upland native fish species.

(some facts on trout from Wikipedia)

Hello Pablo,

Very nice picture of this lake. Great composition. Good depth of field and sharpness. Beautiful reflection of the sky in the lake which gives light to the picture. Nice natural colours.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hello Pablo,

I do like your choice of viewpoint!
It gives an unusual but very effective composition!
The eyes focus on the depth and extent of the forest, yet we are aware of the sky from your clever use of relections.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Pablo,
Beautiful picture of this tranquil lake. As you set it looks like a place that not people come to visit. I like the way you composed this picture. The curve of shoreline and feeling of depth are great.

Dear Pablo,

Stunning landscape or perhaps I should call it a waterscape, excellent reflection of the sky in the water, wonderful detail with a very good d.o.f, beautiful work my friend, all the best Cheers Rick :)

Hello Pablo,
Beautiful capture of this dark lake. I like yur POV and the lovely reflections in the water. Fine DOF and natural colours too. As forestry is taking over small farmholdings more and more lakes here look like this too, edged by spruce. But there is no trout in these lakes!
Cheers and have a nice weekend, Ulla

Hi Pablo,

Hi Pablo

Hi Pablo.
Wonderful and so interesting idea of the picture. It looks turned head over heels. However the shot is looked very comfortably and nicely. Very impressive combination of light FG and dark BG. Cropping and framing are superb as usual and DOF and details of the image are also great. Well done and best wishes.

Morning Pablo,

A very nice and special (low) POV. And just what Tony said an image with great displayed of light and shadows which perfectly captured and composed. The reflection of the trees and the sky in the water is beautiful. On the water,in the reflection of trees, something is floating on the water. Are these maybe the trouts? Have a nice weekend and TFS BOB

Hello Pablo,

The reflections of the clouds in water are the real eye catchers this care for a excellent light.
Very well contrast picture, very well done.
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice sunday,
John.

Hi Pablo,

The reflections in the water are an asset to the composition. The point of view leads our eyes towards the end of the lake. The trees are a natural frame to the lake. A scenery to enjoy nature and relax. Have a nice day.

Hi Pablo, lovely composition with splendid reflections, good colors and great light, very well done, ciao Silvio

A very peaceful spot where I would guess you like to go for a respite eh? Of course. It has trout! Being a west coast US'er I am fond of the Alaskan Wild salmon myself. A beautiful place from your country to share!

Bonjour,
Belle réflexion bien cadrée.
Bonne journée.

Hi Pablo, the first thing that hits me with this shot of yours is the format. The long landscape works very well for this shot, keeping our focus on the water and trees. There's good definition throughout, even in the shadow areas of the shot, with very good colour. The sky is not seen directly in this shot, but you've very effectively captured it in the reflection in the water. Very nicely done.

Thanks, John

Hi Pablo,
This forest lake looks as elegant as every image coming from you or even more I would say! Outstanding light contrast and composition.
TFS and best regards, José M.

A wonderful image full of silence! I like a lot the composition. Well captured, thank you.
Best wishes,

Hi Pablo!

This is a typical Norwegian atmosphere as I sometimes have met it last year. I like this heavy, sentimantal and somehow sad atmosphere. It invites for contemplation, too.

Kind regards

Markus

What a beautiful shot, Pablo..I tried to look at it from many angles, this indeed, is a beautiful piece of work!
Cheers!

Hi Pablo,
this is a very sharp and clear photo of the type of places I see here in Canada where I live.It looks to be a peaceful and quiet place, one worth visiting.You have a very nice light and good detail in this well cropped shot.Thank you for this view. Bob

Hello Pablo. Your capture of landscapes are as excellent as your architecture compositions. Well spread in this perspective showing the pristine beauty of nature. Very calm water and the reflection is just so awesome. Best regards and thanks for sharing. Jusni

Pablo,
You are right... when man "interferes" with nature "... effectively displacing and endangering several upland native fish species."
OUTSTANDING image of this scenery.

Hello Pablo !
So beautiful ! Even if it is near the road, to me it lookes ratherquiet andpeaceful. I love these calm waters that reflect the trees almost perfectly, like a mirror. I also like the colors, a bit dark, it givesthe picture a nice mood. Excellent composition and POV. Very well done !
Valerie.
