Another photo of this beautiful little lake located in the Bob Marshall Wilderness area, America's largest wilderness. This time a view toward the east. Far in the distance you might be able to see Holland Falls.

We spent about an hour at the lodge, drinking coffee and enjoying the view. Holland Lake Lodge offers a comfortable getaway for a unique Montana experience that is historic, pristine and rustic. The Lodge sits on the shores of Holland Lake in Montana's Swan Valley with gorgeous views of Holland Falls, the Swan Peaks and the Mission Mountains.

Hi Niek,
The colour of the water is so attractive!
It is also amazing to see how the mountains are forest clad all the way to the top...
Strong colours and pleasant details, this is a lake I'd like to explore!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi, Niek.
Beautiful lake. Very nice colors and background. Want to see something more on foreground or midground. And a little bit tilted to the right.

Hermosos tonos esmeralda los de esta imagen de hoy.
Perfecta combinación.
Saludos amigo Niek.

Nice colors and light, Niek. I'm not sure if you've applied your new technique, but there seems to be good contrast here (more accurately good detail in the light and dark areas). Great subject, too. It feels a little "tight" to me though; I think you could have used your 10mm here.

Hi Niek,
This is wonderful! I wish I was there right now, maybe for a little swim... I like those tones of colors in the water, wow! This is a great POV with excellent and well balanced composition, sharpness, lightning, contrast, etc. What a nice place and a nice picture! Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Niek,

Donna :o)

Hi Niek
I like the soft waves as they are rippling across the lake, it brings interesting lines to the shot. The colours are rich and sharp. One interesting aspect is the avalanche shoot on the mountain to the left with all it's curves. I don't want to sound like a broken record :)

Hallo Niek,
Amazing to see color gradient on water surface. Beautiful lake. Great landscape picture.

Hi Niek
Another beautiful landscape from your lens, well seen and captured.
The composition is excellent and I just love how you angled the shoreline and the miniature waves with relation to the levelled and tree filled mountains in the BG. The tranquillity of the scene and the inviting colours of the green water and the blue sky give this shot that "I wish I was there" quality.
The DOF captured excellent details to infinity and the exposure was perfectly controlled.
Great work my friend and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Dit is inderdaad een prachtig meer Niek. Hele mooie kleuren en goede compositie. De lucht is prachtig blauw en de naam van het meer is natuurlijk erg leuk! ;) Goed gedaan en TFS!

Groet,
Pieter

Still summer in your pic. Very nice details to be seen in the clear water, good contrasts and a gorgeous sky!
Cheers
Otto

Neik,
This is an attractive, very attractive, composition.
You have registered the EMERALD within those waters
with class.
Sharp contrasts. Excellent work.
Regards,
Mario.

Hello Niek, what a beautiful place that is. The colours are fantastic throughout the range of the water. I would have loved a stronger foreground, maybe closer and lower to that rock and pebbles. Well done mf.

Hoi Niek,

Mooie foto van deze mooie plek, echt een omgeving om gewoon even te zitten en van dit prachtige uitzicht te genieten.
Kleuren zijn prachtig, heel natuurlijk, en het standpunt van waaruit je de foto hebt genomen geven de details van de voorgrond goed weer.
Bedankt!

Groetjes, Nel

Hi Niek
Nice landscape shot. Great colours, DOF, light, ahdpnes and POV. The water looks very coold did you swim in it :)
Thans for the dust note in your comment.

Well done Niek

osse

I'll just ditto all of the above Niek. I really like teh way the water colours fade to the shore bringing in the red of I'm guessing the fallen leaves(?)

Have you changed cameras? or is it your spare?
