even far... I feel like going back...

i know, the horizon is allmost in the middle, but this image still

talks to me... what do you think?

Very nice. The shoreline could have been leveled out a little. That's it though. Great tones and right on focus. T

Rui, A fine composition with good depth. You have the forground, middle ground (mostly water), and distant hills covered well. The small rock protruding, lower left, prevents the mass of water from being overbearing. I guess the 30 sec. exposure is responsible for the glass like water texture & reflections. Good sky detail but, on my screen at least, little in the foreground rocks or the hill on the right. In any case you are right to be pleased with this one. Best, LM.

Not the best example of the rule of thirds? Thank goodness! The best thing you can do is forget that rule exists. It's mainly for authors of "how to" articles in photo magazines to tell rank amateurs how to compose. Actually quite useless.

This and other similar compositions in your portfolio are well done with good use of placement, depth (as well as depth of field), detail, contrast.

But one rule about horizons that you can depend on is that they should be straight. This one tilts down to the left. You have to be careful with that or all the water in the lake will run out!
