About I liked the way the clouds were reflecting on the lake this day, so took a pcture. Here it is, I hope you like it. I wonderf if it's only me who thinks the one reflection on the left looks like a boat.
Suggestions for improvement are always welcome. I've learned quite a bit from your helpful hints and I appreciate that.

Very nice landscape.Regards Edmund.


Mark Kresl   {K:9434} 7/30/2005
Wow, you had some sky to work with Mary. Very well done. I like the rocks in the foreground. They add depth to the shot. Very well done.


Toshi    {K:12024} 7/30/2005
Mary, Beautiful landscape shot and great reflections of the clouds in the lake. The rocks in the foreground is a great addition to add depth, but I would've liked to see just a tad more -- just my opinion :)


Alastair Bell   {K:29571} 7/30/2005
Wonderful Mary... the feeling I get of tranquillity is very strong... this is such a relaxing scene! Beautiful colours, and the reflections are just wonderful...

Alastair


Todd Weeks   {K:7594} 7/30/2005
Hi Mary,

This is a very beautiful and serene shot. It makes me want to get a lawn chair and a book. I love the clarity of the sky as well as the reflections. Did you use a polarizing filter?

Todd


Mary Brown   {K:68582} 7/30/2005
Hi Todd. It's always good to hear from you. This lake is a great place to sit and relax. I just wish I could spend more time. No, I didn't use my polarizing filter. Do you think it would have been better if I did?
Mary


Casey Lannette   {K:748} 7/30/2005
This is amazing, how beautiful, the detail of the small rocks just below the water is captivating, very well done.


Margaret Sturgess   {K:49403} 7/30/2005
Lovely sky, great reflections and I like the addition of the foreground, breaks up the blue veyr nicely
Margaret


Mark Sherman   {K:15520} 7/30/2005
The absolute first thought that came into my head was eternity. To me this is beautifully stunning !


Todd Weeks   {K:7594} 7/30/2005
Mary,

Actually, it looks like you used one. I think the shot is perfect as is.

Todd


Mary Brown   {K:68582} 7/30/2005
Hi Toshi. Originally, there were more rocks in the foreground. I liked them, but unfortunately, they seemed to take up too much of the picture and overpower the sky. That's why I cropped them out.
Mary


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 7/30/2005
It's so good to see another of your uploads, Mary!
This is a wonderful 'lakescape' with a beautiful, mirror-like reflection!
Well seen and very well taken.
Best regards, Chris


Alison DuFlon   {K:36231} 7/31/2005
Beautifully taken Mary, I love the lead in with the large rocks adding nice depth and textures to the shot. The clouds and their reflections are amazing. Alison


Del Metheny   {K:25473} 7/31/2005
I expect some will suggest you should have croped out the rocks in front, but I like how they give depth to the photo. Sort of a point of reference to guess at the distance of things in the photo. Del.


Mary Brown   {K:68582} 7/31/2005
Hi Del. Thanks for your comment. I have a number of shots from different spots. Some are pretty much the same without the rocks, but somehow they looked less interesting and the sense of distance wasn't the same. So, I preferred including the rocks. So far, people like them.
Mary


Darlene Boucher   {K:15649} 7/31/2005
Gorgeous, and yes Mary, the cloud on the left does look like a boat......you really captured this perfect moment, I can't see anything that I would improve! Love it!


Roberto Okamura   {K:22842} 7/31/2005
Excellent composition Mary!
Very beayutiful clouds formation and reflections! 7/7

Congratulations on your two awards Mary. Well deserved - beautiful composition and the rocks in the foreground are perfect. It does look peaceful, and the clouds reflecting on the lake almost look like ice-flows. Jan

Roger Williams   {K:83282} 8/13/2005
I missed this on the top page and in your portfolio... It coincided with a desperately busy time at the office. This is another wonderful shot, Mary, and well worth its double award! Those serried ranks of clouds, perfectly mirrored in the lake, with the contrasting stones there in the foreground to give us the depth... Masterly!

Hi Gilberto. Thanks so much for your comment. You know, I was unsure about posting this; didn't know how it would be received. Obviuosly, it is thought to be a good picture. I guess I really do have a lot to learn about this hobby.
Mary


Jose Ignacio (Nacho) Garcia Barcia   {K:92421} 9/29/2005
outstanding. a joy to look your portafolio. 7


Richard Dakin   {K:12852} 10/1/2005
Wow! If I wanted to quibble I would give you the standard advice to NEVER have you horizon line in the centre of the frame. But rules are made to be broken, and in this case the image is beautiful AS IS.
***** I know .... you should NEVER start a sentence with "but", but in this case it works too.
Congrats on the well deserved award.


Ursula Luschnig   {K:21809} 10/1/2005
Marvellous!!! Congrats for the well deserved awards!
Cheers,Ursula


Mary Brown   {K:68582} 10/2/2005
Hi Richard, thanks for your kind comments on my pictures. Hmmm--2 'Never''s here and 1 'Never' in your comment on my baby picture. I guess that helps varify my figuring that one can never really say 'never'. ;-))
MAry


Richard Dakin   {K:12852} 10/3/2005
Hahaha. I have even given that advice ("Never, say never!")myself. Seems I have trouble following it though.


Larissa Nazarova   {K:12221} 10/12/2005

Wonderful and fantastic capture/composition!
great photography!
Regards from Brazil!


alberto baez duarte   {K:8022} 1/20/2006
As an amateur in this hobby ...I would say that the stones in the front side are the ones to give the best effect of the photo...and of course then are the clouds reflected in the water so nicely and giving a peacefull thought..
congratulations...


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 1/31/2006
Dear Mary, this image is breathtaking! It cannot get more awesome than this - blue sky and puffy clouds, calm water and the vast horizon. I love the rocks in the foreground, absolutely stunning and my sincere belated congratulations on the well deserved awards, Mary! Best regards, Ina


Joel Aron   {K:14920} 2/1/2006
Mary,

This is so perfect! The distortion that the ripples have on the sky reflection is just amazing! An amazing capture! The Depth is just INSANE! ..that's Canada for ya I guess ;)

Very well done, and congrats on the double award with this image! Very well deserved!

best,
-Joel

Ecellent viewing point giving you good sence of distance by adding those rock in the foreground. The reflection on the water makes it seem like a cover. Keep up the good work.

John Beavin   {K:4477} 4/18/2006
Lovely shot, I wonder if by using a poloriser you would lose the reflections, something to ponder over, well done any way Mary.


Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:179484} 4/18/2006
sure a new visit very powerfulness..
how are you!?!?
take care..

Mary Brown   {K:68582} 4/21/2006
Thanks so much, Marian.
MAry


Mary Brown   {K:68582} 4/21/2006
Hi John. I don't think I had my poloriser when I took this. Now that I have one, I will have to find time to experiment more. However, this day, I really liked the way the clouds were reflecting on the water. The lake was so calm and mirror-like and the sky so bright.
MAry
