Lake Matheson Valley, a photo from West Coast, South Island

Photographer's Note

This photo was taken further around Lake Matheson showing the small farms in the bottom of the valley, looking into the glacier, what a view these people have, this day the clouds dropped, so we missed the mountains behind.
Regards Mike

Hi Mike,

As we say in Scotland,"We went to view the view but we missed the view and viewed the mist."

Nevertheless, this is a fine picture and probably a better composition than your last picture from Lake Matheson: here the forground tree adds depth to the image and I like the red roofs of the buildings in the mid-distance. I might just have been a wee bit tempted to increase the saturation of red selectively in this case, just to add a bit of zing to those roofs. Great view of the glacier too.

Lovely!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hi Mike, nicely composed shot; inclusion of the houses really gives an idea of the huge scale of the glacier behind. cheers, Steve
