this image is very well composed, and I like dark tones...dark but not heavy, dark but not sad...dark but full of summer sunshine, somehow very lovely

Simple and very effective. The contrast of the orange of the flame against the blues of the background works well. Nice photo!

Hi Jarkko,

Well taken of course and well done on the composition.

I have mixed feelings about the composition. The main subject is the lantern, the secondary is the lake. However, my eye distracted with the shadow/tree. It gives an impression or is fighting for attention. I see this image the way it is but without the tree, so, we have the lamp and the lake same composition without the tree. I also see another composition where the cropping would end at the tree, which becomes a vertical. Like I said, it's a mixed feeling of compositions.
Bottom line is, I like it anyway. ;) :)

Excelente composición, los tonos fríos contrastan excelentemente con la luz, los diferentes reflejos e iluminaciones esta muy bien lograda.
Buen trabajo.
Saludos

Bonjour.
Une très belle composition, simple mais effeicace.
Bravo à l'artiste !

I like these colors!

Beautiful shot Jarrko.
Colors & Light is fantastic.
Well done.

Maybe we're all moths at heart ... drawn to that flame and the shine of the lamp. Beautifully sharp and beautifully coloured, this shot - and composition is perfect: the position of the lamp to the left, the tree to the right, the horizon in the top 1/3rd of the photo ... superb work.

Hi Jarkko,

Again, Wonderfull shot you've made. Like the concept here, dramatic and enlightening.

Regards,
Jomari

Hi Jarkko,

Have a nice day, Ivana
