[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Balea Glacial Lake is a real monument of nature (formed in a glacial circus), is 360 meters long, 240 meters broad and 11 meters depth. Situated at 2 034 meters of altitude, the lake is between the Defileul Oltului (Olt Canyon) and the foot of Piatra Craiului Mountains. It is accessible by car during the summer, and the rest of the year by a cable car from the “Balea Cascada” chalet.

Since 1932, the lake and about 180 hectare of land around it were declared scientific reservation. It must also be mentioned the fact that the first ice hotel in Eastern Europe was built near the lake in 2006
On summer one can practice boating on the lake, while on winter one can skate, play hockey or curling on the frozen surface of the lake. One can also climb down from the Waterfall by skiing, on a 10 kilometers route with a 600 meters difference of altitude.
Balea Lake Chalet
Balea Lake Chalet is located on a half-isle that goes into the Balea Glacial Lake, at an altitude of 2034 meters. The present chalet was rebuilt in 2000, because the old one had been destroyed in a fire in 1995. On its three floors there are double rooms, rooms with four, six or ten places and also apartments. It has its own restaurant and facilities for renting sport equipment, baby sky and scooters

beautiful landscape and interesting text radiate rest

Hi Oana,
Remarkable capture! What a great effect in the sky from the mist! Very natural colours, your composition is excellent here. The only thing I'd suggest is raising your aperture setting to make the building in the distance clearer. And to be ultra picky, clone out the small white speck on the rock in the FG - I find my eyes being pulled slightly towards it. Very pleasant scene though, well done!

TFS,
Scott.

absolutlly stunning effects.I do not have expression like my fnd Scott so I second his point of view in totality.TFS

Hi Oana,
An amazing landscape which includes all the ingredients of a real winner!
Great softness created by the mist, a fabulous reflection in a dead calm water, beautiful scenery and great details clearly visible due to accurate sharpness.
Lighting is marvellous and presentation is clean and delicate!
Well done,

Francis Xavier

Hi Oana,

A very strong picture!
Wonderful and special atmosphere, these low clouds (or is it mist).
Great colors, light and reflections.
Well done!

TFS and greetings from Netherlands,
Adri

A very serene place place to be. I liked the surroundings very much...it makes me miss my hometown:(
Good sharpness and details. The light is very beautiful and the main element that I liked the most was the position of the flying clouds.They made this picture very beautiful and special!

Hope you have a day filled with colors of love and joy!
Cheers,
Shubhi:)

I may have a look at that lake when i go in August Oana, the view is breathtaking with the clouds rolling in , nice reflection of the chalet in the lake, the tilt to the right is slight, other than that it's a fantastic panorama,
Romania is beautiful,

What a beautiful scene! I like how the clouds are drifting into the mountain slopes. It would help to tip the image a bit to the left to level the horizontal lines of the chalet (and the surface of the water). Good use of light and reflections. Nice shot:)

Martyn

The tranquillity is oozing from this picture...wonderful surroundings. I like the misty mood!

TFS,

Hello Oana,
What a beautiful image of this picturesque landscape! I can only imagine what it must be like to walk along the banks of the glacial lake and view the high crags that stand magnificently above. The clouds are perfect in the atmosphere to highlight the image's capture for tourism purposes, as they add charm, and make some want to open a bottle of wine and sit along the waterway and soak all the beuty into their souls.
An Excellent Capture...
Excellent,
Steve
