Description

Early morning shot - last day at the lake. The rest of my camera gear was already packed in the car for the trip home from northern Minnesota, but my Dimage Xt captured the moment just as I had hoped.

This is lovely Joseph. So peaceful and calm. Lovely lighting and mistiness to soften it - only available early morning. Well caught. #1441341

Thank you all very much! It's very encouraging to receive such positive remarks right out of the blocks on my first photo submission, especially from other talented photographers (yes, I've visited your galleries and I am very impressed!).

Well, I can certainly see why you were awarded Finalist with this one, Joseph! This makes me yearn for summer's return at our lake in northern Ontario! #5526499

Joe, is this real? I mean...did it really look like this or did you fade out the whole background??? This is so beautiful and still and quiet. I am almost scared while at peace, if you know what I mean. (Maybe I have seen to many spooky movies. The monsters always jump out of the quiet!)

It's just so placid and calm. You talked about MY Lake Louise shot in the same way I could easily speak about THIS one. (Note: I am waiting for the goose pimples to arrive!)

OUTSTANDING my new photo friend! I see many more here that I want to slow down to enjoy. Maybe later today I can. You have been added as favorite today. -Laura Swan #5663634

Joe, this image is not only peace-filled and serene, but also surreal... It's astonishing how the boat and its reflection seem suspended in thin air. A stunning once-in-a-lifetime photo. Thank goodness you were ready for it!

P.S. I would re-enter this 2005 finalist (belated Congrats!), and see what the judges of 2008 think of it. #5664482

Laura & Mary,
First of all, thank you so very much for your wonderful comments! I am truly pleased to make your acquaintances! Yes, the picture is real. I edited out a small speck or two of weed or something floating on the water but that was pretty much it. I literally had about a 2 minute window to take the picture and then the sun burned through. I got off about 8 shots and this was the "magic" one. Great idea to re-enter this - do you suggest the Landscape & Nature category or...?
Peace,
-Joe #5665098

Mary K. Robison March 19, 2008

Landscape & Nature category would probably work, Joe, but, maybe Catch-All...? #5665359

Bill Wyatt March 21, 2008

A belated congratulations on the terrific image I love the reflection and the way it fades into the fog. #5672939
