 Yay!

Not long ago I bought a house in Sweden, and I went there to take the property over, and took this photo by the lake not far from the house.

I did not expect to do so well with this, so in that way this ribbon means more to me than others. Thank you all for your feedback! I appriciate it.

PS: I used a polarizer and a 3 stop hard ND for this photograph.

great shot, well deserved ribbon. You could of enhanced ambient light with a longer shutter perhaps 5 seconds. Great shot nevertheless. Texture is hard to make out in some areas.

Grattis da gitt!
Ikke minst fortjener du å være foran de andre nærliggende, fordi bildet er av en refleksjon og ike av det reflekterte (mumle,mumle).
Well worth it, well done.

C'mon dude, could you back off on the over-saturation about 200% or so? You trying to burn our eyes out or something?

I go around by what a good friend of mine always says:

"Take Nothing But Pictures - Leave Nothing but Footprints - Kill Nothing but Time"

An almost surreal shot because the water in inside the boat appear like window to the sky. Congratulations on your BLUE? Terje, this image is superb!

excellent picture, the only thing i don't like is the red and yellow object in the boat, they seem to take away from the serenity of the shot. I also ( I know this is a little extreme ;-) ), the blue tether is a little distracting, perhaps you could have used a colour more natural looking. I realize you may not have had control over these aspects, as it may not have been your boat at all, but im a perfectionist :-)
