It is another view of Ovan lake . After passing a mountainous road, we reach to this alpine lake which is beautiful in 4 seasons of the year. No tributary flows to the lake, but the water sources are several springs at the bottom of the lake. The lake is also surrounded by three small villages that one of them is seen in the shot.
The lake can be accessed by a vehicle and is a good place for camping and fishing.

Hello Atousa, this one is calm, serene, beautiful and well captured indeed with such lovely and deft handling

Hi Atousa
Beautiful view of the Ovan Lake. Fine POV and details. I like this perspective with the tree and grass in foreground. The fog or cloudy sky and the reflections are very good
TFS and have a nice day
Aires

Hi Atousa,
Marvellous colours! A magical feeling with the mirror-like water. Beautiful place and capture, thanks for sharing!

Gunnar

It is amazing how we can have misconception ideas about so many places in this world. For me, Iran is a dry country with plenty of desert areas, mostly arid and brown. However, in this photo, you are showing us a beautiful green scenery where trees and water play a main role. Your photo is excellent and the place seams to be wonderful and very peaceful. Thanks for teaching me something new today.

Hello Atousa.

TFS!

Hello Atousa, good composed shot with very nice colors. Nice place!

TFS and regards,

What a place, Atousa, and the photo is so special... the atmosphere being calm and the soft light, with those clouds so soft, too!
I noticed that in Iran there are many poplars, a tree that I like a lot. I can see them on the other shore of the lake, near the village. I've got one in my little garden-courtyard (boq? bog? bâq?) and is very tall, with the wind its leaves sound lovely.
The color of the mountain, so red (it isn´t red exactly, I don´t know the word in english, we say "granate", from the fruit "granada") is fantastic, I like the contrast with green, and you show this colors in other good and nice photos.
I noticed too that there are many houses with blue roofs in many villages in the north of Iran.

Thanks, Atousa

Warm regards
Álvaro

Salaam Atousa,
It's just sooo beautiful.... Like a forgotten Shangri-La in the middle of the mountains covered by low clouds, but with a wonderful luminosity that makes the smooth palette of colours outstanding. You chose the PoV very well and achieved a great compo. I like how the different round layers are gently separated, by the reeds on the FG, then by the lake border, then the slope and finally the clouds.
Regards, José.

Hi Atousa,
Good pov to show the calm surface of lake with reflecting well the cloudy sky, peaceful environment with resident quarter located between mountain and lake, distinct color shooting under the dim condition, good shoot.

Bonjour,
belle photo de ce lac et de sa nature qui l' entoure, de toute beauté.
L' arbre et les hautes erbes a l' avant lui donne une très bonne profondeur de champ.


Amitiés Thomas

very beautiful landscape. You chose a nice angle, making great use of the calm water and tree for the image start reading. The soft light is also pleasant. Very good job!

Hi Atousa!

At fist look the composition seems a little squeezed, because of the reeds that surround the lake from both sides but that feature itself directs our eyes to the opening in the middle and like a boat, we sail on the lake and reach the small village at the shore! Great shot, lovely view.

Hello Atousa,
A beautiful and well composed shot with excellent DOF. The fog rising over the mountain cliffs has added a nice mystic touch. Very fine work!
Kind regards,

Salam Atousa,
The picture is well framed on top by the cottony clouds, and on the left by the tree trunks. You didn't have the most favorable weather, but colors and contrast are quality.
Sharp picture too
Well done Atousa!
Laurent

Bonsoir Atousa
both of the images are attractive and refreshing too! A pov which gives the impression to have the feet in that calm water! I like to see the village and the clouds covering the mountains, the smooth texture of the lake... A lovely place with peaceful atmosphere!
Cheers

Nice view of the lake under cloudy conditions. Like how you framed with the tree on the left. Like the reflection of the reeds & grasses on the calm water of the lake. The houses on the other side are also nice. Well done!
