Hello everyone, I think it is my first post here. I wanted to show you the Emerald calmness photograph I tool a few weeks ago.
This October we were gifted with many warm, bright and sunny days here in Southern Germany. But it happened that the only day I chose to go to shoot sunrise at this amazingly beautiful lake in Bavarian Alps was cold, gloomy and rainy. I skipped sunrise time since it was dark and wet outside without any hope to see the light through thick layer of grey clouds. I still did a lot of hiking that day, scouting for an interesting spots and trying to take photos during the breaks between rain.
At some point nasty drizzle and wind stoped completely, so I was able to capture calm mirror-like surface of the lake and incredible reflection. Even with the frowning dull sky the colours of the lake were bright and alluring with this magical emerald colour which always impress me. Majestic mountain massif came out from the clouds to just complete my frame with a perfect snowy and rocky background.
So in the end I was pretty happy with colours and reflections, but couldn't make sky look interesting. What do you think?

Hi Mila. Have to look it up in the map in a sec. Just me being fussy here, would have like to see more of the lake with all those reflection and less of the branch. Wait for other feedback....see what they say as well.
Thank you very much for your feedback! So you find that branch too distracting? I have more shots from the same spot, will check if other compositions are more interesting =)
