Hi,

Forth shot taken during the period of magnificent light at dawn when on holiday in Sweden last summer. The stillness of the lake and air is very evident, along with the cool morning mist in the background. I was struck by the very strong reflextions of the rowing boat and the barrels under the little jetty.

"Slow Boat
words and music by Arlo Guthrie

If I could go back home to the place I was raised
I'd catch the next bus and be there in a few days
But I just can't do it, I was raised on the road
I've got no place to go to, so l guess l'll stay on

There's dreams that I've had, I wrote in songs yesterday
But the waves of the world have washed them away
Still I carry them with me wherever I go
They're my only possesions on this slow boat back home

I've kept all my memories buried deep in my heart
Where time cannot touch them and rip them apart
Still I look for the hour when I will be free
From constantly dying and living on dreams

If I could go back home to the place I was raised
I'd catch the next bus and be there in a few days
My dreams in my pockets, my life, that's gone wrong
They're my only possessions on this slow boat back home"

Terrific atmosphere and very nice colours. It is one of those shots where I as a viewer feel that you the photographer really managed to convey it all: mood, colours, climate and quiet.

You can almost feel the fresh air against you skin. Lovely calm colours.

Hi John,
Excellent photo, with very good use of the morning light and the low POV. It brings out the fog beautifully. Your DOF is very good, with boat as a excellent leadline. Colors and sharpness are spot on.
TFS,
Niek

Stunning photo, John. Nice scenery, the mist really adds to the shot, and your compo is well chosen.
My only nit-pick would be that you seem to have downsized quite quickly (or oversharpened just a tiny bit, or both), which has resulted in some jaggies, for instance on the leftmost oar and the side of the boat.
Anyway, TFS.
