The reflection of the hillside in the calm pond is like a mirror. This is probably due to the calmness of the water, the clear sky, and the perfect light. I like the shot very much. Thank you for sharing. Thomas

    As mirror reflections go this one is the gold standard. I don't mean to brag but this shot is rare. Three things to remember regarding 'scape' shooting: Know the area, Know the weather and know your gear.

    Thanks for a fine review and the super six - Yipeeeee ... Bob

If there had been a small red sailboat in the pond, I would say I have the same shot. Vermont is so perfect for these types of shots. Your patience and pre-production setup were well worth the time and calculations to have the perfect one and done shot. The colors pop and the shadows give a tremendous POV. It is like I am standing on the shore. Well done.

    How about two young ladies in a red canoe on Long Pond? I have driven by this little pond so many times over the years The only times I have seen it like this I never had a camera with me. This scene fell apart not more than 10 minutes after I took this.

    Thanks for the review and stars ... Bob

The very vivid colors in your photograph of Autumn in all its glory, is a delight to set our eyes upon! A very inviting image.
The depth in color tones is extraordinary. How cold was it that day?
Love the reflection on the watercolor makes for an intriguing image. Just beautiful

    Al I recall I was dressed lightly, must have been in the mid 40's. But that didn't last by the time I finished shooting the sun disappeared, wind picked up and temp fell 10 degrees and it began to sleet.

    Tis November in the Northeast Kingdom. Thanks for your fine review and rating ... Bob

    That's the Zen of landscape shooting you always have time to work the scene. Thanks for the review and fine rating ... Bob

What a beautiful scene and how lucky you are to live nearby!
Beautiful autumn colours are reflected in a stunningly blue lake, with clear skies above.
A good shot, well taken.

Love this image Bob and your choice of lens has worked well creating a darkened blue sky and water on leading into lighter colors. The reflections are vivid and the setting one of serenity. Colors are stunning.

    Thanks for the in depth review and great rating. Normally I would use a polarizing lens - but that would have change the tone and temperature of the entire scene. This was the first time I tried this and shucks folks it worked ... Bob

    You have honored me with that remark. As a photographer my greatest wish is that the photos I take touch someone - only one is all it takes. I humbly thank for the fine review and generous rating ... Bob

Artist Bob, thanks for sharing another stunning Vermont scene. Your informative description is so interesting and written in much prose. I love the waters, the colorful mountain and its reflections, as well as the sky, side front foliage, colors. Thanks for sharing such a God-created pristine scene while capturing it so well.

Comment from Matt P


A wonderful photo of fall in Vermont. I like the reflection of the mountains in the water. Good composition with the evergreens on the right. Focus is very good. I used to live across the lake in upstate New York. This photo reminds me how much I miss it.
