[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo is from Elvejordsvatnet, a small lake near the larger Lyngen fjord.

A little information about the area, from www.lyngenalp.no :

"The Lyngen Peninsula is situated at around latitude 70° N, and is home to some of Norway’s most wild and spectacular mountains. The municipality of Lyngen is found in Troms County. It consists the northern part of a Peninsula between the Lyngen fjord and the Ullsfjord.

The Lyngen Alps feature many glaciers and steep snow-capped peaks rising 1000m-1800m above sea level. The highest of these peaks is Jiekhevarri (1833 m).

The Lyngen Peninsula is divided by many deep, transversal valleys with narrow rivers.
There are wide plains on the eastern and western sides of the Alps. On the eastern side of the Alps in the outermost part of Lyngen, the mountains rise virtually vertically from the sea for a 30 km stretch.

The Lyngen Alps are now a landscape protected area, with the aim of protecting the area’s distinctive character for future generations."

Nicely done.
I find the tree on the left a little distracting from the mountain though.
The colours and focus are great!

Hi Jon

Superb reflections & symmetry in this marvellous landscape. Good choice of a panoramic format. Wonderful Autumn colours of gold. Tfs!

Hi Jon!

Gorgeous landscape with beautiful reflection. I like the snowy mountain peak
in the background. Excellent clarity and sharpness. Great work!

Greetings ... Ileana :o)

Beautiful relections and lovely colours - I also find the tree on the left distracting - it would be good to see either more of it or none.
A lovely capture of your beautiful country.

What wonderful colours and reflections Jon. So good seeing the autumn tones in the trees - so different from NZ's colours.
Well done

Hi Jon, nice reflections with some good autumn colour. I love the snow capped mountain. I think i would be tempted to clone/crop out the little bit of reflected tree in the bottom left. Well done.

Stunning capture. The reflection and original are the same intensities -- not often seen. The slightly off-center composition works well. TFS. K2
