[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was driving by this lake the other day, and observed the calm waters reflecting the surrounding landscape and the farms on the other side!

I’m still on my hazy blues theme, since I have done quite a few of this captures in strong backlight…

Probably not advisable, but I stopped in the middle of the road and made a few captures! No parking space available, and besides there is not much traffic in this remote place…

... og en gang til en sjarmerende landskapet på norden, Pablo. Elsker denne farver på blå, vid himmelen... Et berolige fotografi med kjempefin speilen på sjøen.

Water always creates such a peaceful feeling. Great reflections and I like the blues. Adds to the peacefulness.

Hi Pablo,
A beautifully composed, peacefull and serene landscape. The reflection and the subtle hazy blues create a great quiet atmosphere.
Very well done, and tfs,
Jako

Hi Pablo,
very atmospheric shot, and well presented. The vastness of the sky adds to the overall shot, when I'd have thought such a large area would have worked against this, but it doesn't, it works very well. Lovely capture, well done and TFS,

Hello Pablo,

I have been waiting and waiting for your next posting, and it was worth the wait. Another well composed photograph, a delightful tranquil scene, I like the blue, I prefer dark blue but that is just my taste. Wide-open sky and no wait there is still snow on the hills! Well done

well done my frien

Hi Pablo,
Definitely fantastic shot! Forgiving you violation of traffic rules... ;-P I love your composition, showing the wide, open space. The subsequent, fading layers add 3D effect to the photo, giving strong sense of depth. Domination of blue tones, combined with few green areas in the center gives fantastic effect. tfs

Hi, Pablo!
Have you got no wind in Norway? Your reflection is so perfect, that it looks a bit unrealistic - just like an abstraction...

Beautiful photo of what is obviously a magnificent place Pablo. Great use of the frame to highlight the blues.

Hi Pablo,
I like the bue-ish tone of this photo. As the previous ones and those on TN....just excellent. Living in a crowded country, these kind of photos remind me of how beautiful nature can be.

I love this blue'ish tones. I like that you left so much sky in the frame - it connects well with the blue water and mountains. Still water, blue sky, blue mountains - very relaxing view. A good thing to watch to on Friday :) Thanks for sharing!

Hello Pablo, what a beautiful composition in blue! Very nice landscape and reflections.

Superb!

Take care, Yan :)

hi Pablo,
what i find interesting about this is that it also makes for a very wonderful abstract. The monochromatic feel is really sweet. Nice POV and compo too.

Hi Pablo, One of the best from your northern land. The blue hues and the soft reflections look terrific. The large sky you have is a good proportion in this composition. You are a good ambassador for your country, which we down under, knew little about until your expose. Good to see. Murray.

Hi Pablo - Over half of the image being blue sky is a daring thing. But here it works as (I think) this much of a dimension is needed to put the beautiful silhouette below in perspective.

Cool compostion both by mood and by slang. Mirror effect drawn from the lake is excellent. Misty layers ridge after ridge gives an impression of distence. Very nice image.

Thanks for sharing natural beauty in a lovely shot.

IH Pablo,
Extra photo, Really impressive, looks like a huge mirror.
I like all the shades of blue we see in the photo, i love the framing and light a lot.
Very well done my friend

Hi Pablo,
Remarkable photo!
Your composition is perfect as always, the balance between the lake and sky is great as is the capture of that stunning reflection on the water!

In dutch a "bak" is a "tub".

Hello Pablo
The essence of romantism is depicted by these diaphanous shades of blue strictly located on a tiers-line.
I let this peaceful mood invade my mind.
Best regards.

Hi Pablo!
Amazing horizon. Wonderful mirror. Beautifulo colors. Nice capture.
