Look to the East

Picture from Lake Vaenern in Sweden. This morning I headed for the west side to catch the twilight. The mountain on the other side is Halleberg, famous for Moose and other wildlife.
Used a long exposure and GND filter to flatten the water.

Very pretty Christer. I wish there was more detail available in the rocks, but that's pretty minor.

Christer,

A very interesting and I think successful image and composition. Interesting because the rocks in the water lend themselves to a vertical composition, but the horizon and sky are clear best horizontal; it makes for an interesting combination, IMO. Other than the already mentioned darkness of the midground rocks due to the gnd, I don't really have any nits or suggestions. I like this.

Beautiful composition with nice soft colours, and great elements. I really like the ethereal feel of the water created using the long exposure. I think if you could lighten the mid rocks as mentioned, this would be excellent!.
