Description

Took this on a trip to a nearby nature reserve this summer. At a first glance I thought that this was just another landscape-shot, but the more and more I looked at it the better I thought about it. There’s just so much to fixate on… The black “oily” lake together with the rich colors and incoming clouds creates really nice contrasts.

Not so much postprocessing done on this, just some editing in Camera Raw and levels adjustments.

Some overexposed areas in the clouds.

Very typical swedish nature! :)

Would suggest a different cropping to avoid half-and-half.

Very nice shot! I agree with Moser, I think cropping down the sky to have 2/3 land and 1/3 sky would benefit this shot. At first glance it seems to lack something, a central element that the whole image builds on, it doesn't need to be a prominent item but something that all lines lead to or the composition works around. Technically this is an awesome shot, properly exposed and sharp...but it lacks a main element I feel. Maybe doing a wide angle with the ground included more would help out too, but flat land tends to make it hard to get a good item to build the image around. (Much like where I am from, very flat!) Hope this helps and don't by any means think I am knocking you cause I love this photo its just so close to being perfect!

Very nice image and good exposure.....I also would crop a little from the top and I would try to flip it horizontally, I think that it would "flow" better that way.

This what I mean......(I also healed a little cloud at the top and reduced the noise on the blue parts of the sky)

Just beautiful. Agree maybe a bit off the top and perhaps less from below. Nice composition, clarity, and colors.
