Hi Toni, what a beautiful view of this colourful landscape!.
I like to see the stones into the water, the brown colour in the foreground and the two horizontal blues of the water and the sky. The white cloud in the middle of the sky gives more nature elements increassing the beauty of the view. Very well captured.
Really impressive. Very sharp and well composed. Simply a perfect work.
Best regards and happy weekend!

Terrific shot, Toni, the best of the three. Great sharpness and saturation - the polarizing filter is a good choice that really makes the sky and shallows pop. I'm ambivalent about the foreground rocks - they provide a different perspective, but also seem to outweigh the distant peaks.

Bonjour Toni,
Bien vu le filtre polarisant, tr鋊 utile en effet tant pour voir dans l'eau que pour obtenir un superbe ciel.
J'aime beaucoup cet endroit.
Compliments.
Daniel.

amazing colors!
Great compo!

devimeuxbe (58557) 2005-04-30 12:35

salut Toni
On voit les p廧ites d'or au fond du lac !!!...
C'est une belle image bien cadr嶪.
On dirait nos Alpes aussi (sans les p廧ites)
Beau travail

Bonsoir Tony,

Bien fait !

Hi, Toni
Tr鋊 belle paysage;la utilisation d'un filtre polarisateur est parfaite. Les couleurs sont ils superbes.

Hello,
j'ai entendu il n'y a pas longtemps que la Tasmanie ressemblait � la Suisse.
Je constate que c'est vrai, en tout cas dans cette partie !
La compo est bonne avec ces pierres en 1e plan.

Very nice with the polarizer. The colours come out really nice and the cloud is great!
Thanks,

quel paysage de r瞚e! C'est loin mais appremment c'est aussi une destination qui vaut le coup de visiter. Les couleurs sont superbes! Bravo!

Hi Toni. Great use of the polarizer here. Tasmania seems to be another amazing place on Earth. Keep up the good work.

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-05-01 2:09

Excellent, this is exactly the type of compositions I like to do, and so I am happy to see such from Australia.
Great foreground, a lot of very good colors.
Qhality and inspiration are there.
I like it

anakin (2775) 2005-05-01 11:27

Fantastica toma Toni, un espectacular lugar. Muy bella estampa con unos muy bellos colores, un pacifico y tranquilo lugar.

donluicu (24741) 2005-05-01 13:41

wow
toni, this is an amzing shot!
the pola gives a splenid saturated sky, and rocks on the foreground are very well disposed.
congrats

very beautiful landscape Toni
beautiful composition, fabulous colors

tontonjc (6623) 2005-05-01 17:32

- couleurs splendides
- cadrage de r瞚e
- petit nuage bienvenu

Bravo . Superbe

Propofol (1790) 2005-05-01 20:51

Terrific image, Toni.
The sky, of course, is terrific. Excellent use of the polarizer, and a bit of luck thrown in as well - there used to be (and perhaps still is) a sign at the start of the Dove Lake Circuit Path telling you just how few days each year are clear and sunny like this.
What I really like is the rocks, gravel and shore in the foreground - you've captured the quality and colour of the water and texture of the volcanic gravel underfoot perfectly.
Is that little old wooden boathouse just out of frame to our right?
Well done!

j_wyatt (685) 2005-05-02 1:01

You have some very beautiful photos! This one is great. Great colors, I love the perspective and the sharpness, nice saturated colors.

PixelTerror (0) 2005-05-02 4:16

Salut Toni,
Tres beau lac de montagne que tu nous presentes ici, c'est vrai qu'on pourrait se croire dans nos Alpes, l'angle bas est bien pour rehausser un peu les sommets et l'utilisation du pola rend bien pour l'eau et le bleu du ciel, juste le contraste sur le nuage est un peu violent. Dans l'ensemble c'est une tres belle vue qui en plus est rafraichissante, ca commence a devenir appreciable ;-))
Bonne journee,
jean-Yves

elihesamian (26149) 2005-05-02 5:10

Oh!
very beautiful!what a nice place!

I think the piece of white cloud is a great elements here,without it,could be simple,but now it's great,nicely captured with a fine sharpness and very well composed,too.
well detailed and beautiful one,Thanks for posting it,Toni!

Bonjour Toni,
C'est un superbe paysage que tu nous offres la.
Le filtre polarisant aide a donner de belles couleurs bien satur嶪s et effectivement � voir a travers l'eau.
J'aime bien ces rochers au premier plan

superbe vue sur ce lac aux eaux transparentes. on dirait que la terre au premier planc est constitu嶪 de p廧ites d'or... vite un tamis !
magnifique ciel bleu. un endroit g幯ial pour un pique nique au soleil.
Vanessa

Michael (277) 2005-05-02 13:39

Bonjour Toni
c'est une superbe vue, le cadrage au ras de l'eau donne un bel angle large et l'utilisation du polariseur et une tr鋊 bonne id嶪 vu la position du Soleil (ca me donne bien envie d'investir dans un tel filtre d'ailleur :-)
tres belle image !
Michael.

ChrisJ (167140) 2005-05-03 5:31

Hi Toni

Although I've also been to Tasmania, I haven't seen Cradle Mt / Dove Lake, so thanks for sharing. Superb sharpness, colour, depth & saturation. Well done!

jiherka (4552) 2005-05-03 17:25

Un autre coin splendide. Ca fait envie d'y aller faire un tour. Merci de partager ces splendides couleurs.
Bravo Toni

DLM (6479) 2005-05-22 18:28

Hi Tony,
Stunning shot,it deserves to be framed in an expensive picture frame and put on the wall.
I like the note about using a filter to see through the water,very useful.
Regards Dave.

keribar (43841) 2005-05-30 14:29

C'est beau beau beau comme nature... Mais aussi comme photo, bel angle et belle lumi鋨e: Un tout petit reproche: Trop grand nous emp璚he de voir le photo en une fois, je
crois que 16 cms font l'affaire.

Great POV. Nothing more to say cause you had already many appreciations for all...

Bravo

vbourrut (32482) 2005-06-12 15:03

Wouaa, superbe, un magnifique paysage on se croirait sur une autre plan鋈e ! le contraste est tr鋊 bon, et la saturation des couleurs me plait beaucoup, de m瘱e que la composition avec ce premier plan de cailloux !

Amicalement,

Vincent

yzzabelle (257) 2005-06-14 15:36

I'm always struck by your skies and their colors. This is a very "nature invites you" photo. Bravo!

slayoo (644) 2005-06-18 12:48

Extraordinary pure colours. I like the stones of varius sizes which guide the eye through the photo. Good use of polarization filter (please add it to your equipment profile).

jbweasle (9393) 2005-06-24 19:11

Hi Tony. I've seen this pic before and I can't believe I don't compliment you on it the first time. Great colours and contrasts really bring this landscape alive. It feels so big. I like the low viewpoint - the rocks add good foregound interest.

scorfel (4294) 2005-07-07 15:22

Tr廥 beau, bon cadrage et belles couleurs.
Bravo.

hi toni,
the polarizers did work.the colors are so beautiful,like the compo.The cloud belongs to there or not, is not my problem but it's nice there.

Salut Toni,

Superbe photo ! Les couleurs et la lumi鋨e sont tr鋊 agr嶧bles ainsi que la composition ! Super aussi l'effet du filtre polarisant.
M瘱e remarque que PixelTerror concernant le nuage un peu trop cram�. Le reste, c'est vraiment du tout bon !

cherryripe (21033) 2005-11-29 16:24

What I love about this shot is the transparency of the water. It takes me back there. The sharpness and colours are stunning. Great having that fluffy white cloud to liven up the sky.

osse (2808) 2006-05-27 22:58

Hi Toni
