The lake of Lucerne

A black and white tribute to the gentle colours of a very early

morning. You can see the colour versions in the Landscape folder of

my gallery.

good shot. I like the mood. But the tree on top left is distracting (it's not a good frame for this picture).

Thanks Lancelot, you might be right, but on the other hand the photo, in black and white at least, would be fade without in my view.

The B&W is way better than the color version. I am not sure about the tree. Not as framing, but the tree is essential for balance in this photo, IMO.

Thanks Carsten for your comments. I agree on your remark concerning the colour version but I'll anyhow risk an eye and see what the many colour fans say to such a scene. We might get surprised yet another time - after all that is why many of us we are here.

WOW thanks for shearing this shot.

Thanks Scott, very kind of you.

The light here is superb. Your eye for composition is terrific, too. Quite remarkable how you achieve the feel of b&w film; a hard thing to do (I know!).

 

Thank you so much for your critique on my latest. I agree with you regarding the vignetting; but I also want to thank you for quite a compliment as well.

 

Glad to have found your work -- will definitely be looking at more.

Thanks Dave, I can ensure you that I'll be visiting your portfolio regularly too.

This is very beautiful Anders, aided by your excellent composition. There's something about the ephemeral beauty of mist and fog that always draws me in.

Very beautiful and serene.

well done, good sharp contrasts.

Thanks Ben,, Chad and Kerstin. I like it too because of its serene mood. Lucerne is apart from its wooden covered bridge (now restored after the fire) known for this magnificent view on the mountains and the lake.

Magnifique!
