nice scene, adrian and well exposed. i think i might make a pano crop out of this. there's not much interest in the foreground.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

I agree with Harold Adrian, it is a pretty scene but I think a crop to pano might make it a stronger image as well.

Hi Adrian,
Very good advice given above .....as i would also lean that way. I think your exposure is excellent here but will recommend 1 thing.......try getting out a bit earlier/stay out later.......snow hast textures and layers....just like sand .....and the first hours or the morning or last hours of the day...accentuate then even more and bring out a lot more depth. Try those magic hours more often....and you will find your images improve greatly. A different time of day.....and the texture of the snow would be great!
Look at the post directly above yours.....see all the shadow play.....makes a big difference in the snow.

Thank you very much! Roman, I totally agree with you, but unfortunately, the snow is very rare in my region, and that was my only opportunity to get these shots! I have hoped for a little fog...
Here is the pano version, as you suggested...

Adrian,

I like the pano crop and I believe I recognize that structure as one from another image you posted. Nice work here balancing the mountain with the lake.

[Tom Dolezal]

The re-edit crop works much better - lovely exposure.

Thank you Robert! It is the same location as in my other photo...The fortification on the hill is called Shoimosh, and it is very old (~ 1275-1300 AD). The water on the right, is the Mures river.(not a lake):).The location is at aprox. 40 Km from my hometown...
