Thank you for your comments. You are right. This is an artificial lake, dating back to the fifties, providing power and drinking water. In the summer waters are receding because of increasing water needs. In winter the area is filled with snow. A magnificent scenery at an altitude of 800meters/2624feet.

I can only put my signature under what was said by my photo-collegues earlier. Extraordinary expression, beautiful face. Greatly moving portret. Great work Charles. Great work!!

Chris,
Welcome back, this is serene and placid!
Calm, receding waters?

Like the picture with its depth and its colors. Looks for me like a HDR or a tonemapped one.

Thanks Guys, This giant installation was made by Leica in Germany and transported to a camera store in Melbourne Australia where it quietly rotates amid the hustle and bustle of the photography enthusiasts who frequent the store. :)

Lovely Leonardo, probably too much vignetting for my taste, colours are really nice.

Thanks Rick - I continue to be impressed with the combination of Zeiss optics and the D800e - I think this platform delivers the highest technical quality images available today. But technology is only one part of the "picture" (pun intended) and ultimately the "seeing" and visual and technical skill of the photographer is infinity more important than the gear. Given a typewriter and enough time even a chimpanzee could hit the right keys in the correct order to produce something like the US Constitution - I suppose the same it true for a Zeiss and D800e - given enough time even a rookie like me can deliver a good landscape now and then!! Thanks for the nice comment and I enjoy your work as well - good shooting to you!!
