Lakeside photo in Geneve, at the bank of Lac Léman (Lake of Geneve).
PP work: auto levels, straightening the horizon, resize for TL.

Geneva (French: Genčve, German: Genf, Italian: Ginevra, Franco-Provençal: Geneva, Romansh: Genevra) is the second-most populous city in Switzerland (after Zürich) and is the most populous city of Romandie (the French-speaking part of Switzerland). Situated where the Rhône River exits Lake Geneva (French Lac Léman), it is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva. The city proper had a population of 186,825 in June 2008, and the metropolitan area had 769,000 residents according to a 2005 census. The Geneva metropolitan area extends partly over Switzerland (517,000 inhabitants) and partly over France (251,000 inhabitants).

Geneva is a worldwide center for diplomacy and international cooperation, and is widely regarded as a global city, mainly because of the presence of numerous international organizations, including the headquarters of many of the agencies of the United Nations and the Red Cross. It is also the place where the Geneva Conventions were signed, which chiefly concern the treatment of wartime non-combatants and prisoners of war.

Geneva has been described as the world's sixth most important financial centre by the Global Financial Centres Index, ahead of Tokyo, Chicago, Frankfurt and Sydney, and a 2007 survey by Mercer Consulting found Geneva to have the second-highest quality of life in the world (narrowly outranked by Zürich). The city has been called "the world's smallest metropolis" and the "Peace Capital".

Wonderful choice of the title, it matches the image perfectly. Deep blue...isn't that also a title to one movie or am I mistaken?

Szia Kristóf,
jó panoráma jellegű kép, szép kék színekkel. Tetszik a kép harmadolása, mely harmonikussá teszi a képet.
Tetszik.

Hi Kristof
I have taken a shot from the same pov.
it is not very clear, but the blue sign on the top of the 3rd building from the left says - Bank Hapoalim - the second biggest bank in Israel. my husband is a pensioner of this bank.
your photo is good for its colors and for the splendid composition of lake, building and mountains.
greetings
tsilla

Olá, Kristof!

What a nice shot! The color saturation is very nice so is the contrast. Good PP, my friend! This is a beautiful composition with great colors and sharpness. Congratulations and thanks for the educational notes too :o)
