Paolo,

I love the color and composition of this photo!! I think it's my new favorite color photo I've seen in a long time, congratulations on perfection!! 7/7

beautiful color..i love reflections..this is cool...

Truly splendid photography. This gets my highest marks. Congrats Paolo!! 7/7 ( I will have to wait until P.N. allows me to rate. Apparently you were gracious enough to give me a 7 recently and I can't reciprocate so soon ).

Very, Very nice. Perfect exposure and composition. Thanks for sharing. Scott.

It's simply a beautiful image -- very nicely done.

Fantastic! great color and composition...I could see with a pano crop as well...A real beauty...!Juan

Bellisima foto, colori e composizione.

Well you've gone and done it now! This is arguably one of your very best landscapes ever! Honestly, this is in your top two or three. I wouldn't change a thing. It is an absolute joy to just lean back and look at. Superbly beautiful work, my friend; just fabulous. Bravo! Cheers! Chris

great shot!love the reflection.

Hey, thank you all for your many and kind comments, I'm very grateful of your interest in this picture. This is a spot I love, and I already took many pictures here, as youcan see in my portfolio. This particular composition is one that I already tried in the past with film, and yesterday evening I return back to the location to try some really long exposure with a digital camera.

 

And yes, Chris, I think I've done it this time. I don't know if this is among my best two or three - it's always hard to objectively judge your own works - but I do think this is my best try from this location. I've been very lucky with the local weather conditions: there was quite a strong wind at the ground that has produced a wonderful blur effect on the tree reflection, while at high altitude the wind was apparently very calm, as it only stirred those clouds a bit during more than six minutes of exposure. I was amazed when I looked at the colours rendered by a so long exposure, as it was actually very very dark, and I risked my neck a couple of times then, trying to climb back the river bank to get to my car in total obscurity...

 

Well, thanks again to all for the precious support I receive, that's very important for me

Lovely layers of colours with a soft dreamy effect.

Very beautifu Paolo!

The tones are so full and rich and a great composition.

Amazing light composition.

No words! No words!

This is an absolutely stunning photo. The colors, the reflection .. the silhouette of the trees ... it has it all. Awesome!

Beautiful picture.

Love the colors:)

The beauty of this composition is truly deserving of a 7 or better....so please do not accept my (6) as an insult for it truly is not......the sun setting with it's beautiful colors behind the tress and corresponding reflections are just lovely......a pleasure to see such talent displayed. ( I am just 'new' ...slowing learning Photography....landscapes are an area I am very inexperienced at....but I look forwar with anticipation......to learning to produce images such as this). Thank you for sharing you 'beautiful' eye with us........sincerely, Gail

Just fantastic capture of the silent moment. Colors and tones are so smooth and gentle. Great work.
