Photographer’s Note
I stayed 6 nights at Inle lake and every mornig there was fog,one day even till about 11 am.
This is the view from GIC = Golden Island Cottage,where I stayed two nights.
The building with the golden roof at the right side is a "garage" for special boats.They are used to transport Buddha statues at celebrations.
I just exachanged the new screen I owened since 1 day because of some strange pixels,payed some more money and boughta Samsung 21,6".with contrast 3000 : 1.
A great new experience,editing and viewing images.
Have a nice evening!

Hi Andreas,
Looks great on my screen .. beautiful image .. the the gray mist and beautiful water create such a mood for all the things emerging from them .. I love the way the fence feels like a gate into this place .. the little bit of color is wonderful .. the village enveloped by fog and your subjects reflected in the stillness are wonderful.
take care,
John

Hi Andreas,
A photograph or a drawing… SUPERB. Which beautiful image processing, all in smoothness. I am filled with wonder by these lake houses in the fog. I like much the balance of the image. A true pleasure for the eyes, thank you Andreas.
With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Hallo Leo,
What great graphical effect you have obtained in this photo. The people in the boat and the wood fence, perfectly definite and with its reflections in the water, they are outlined on a background blurred by the mist with a great contrast. I like it, is a composition with a lot of visual strength and that catches perfectly this mysterious environment.
Great work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Andreas,
This is a very neat image. You did so well regardless of the fog. IMo it is a very graphical pic. Lines are perfectly aligned and the boat right in the middle make the ultimate link between the two sides of the pic. Lovely tones too...soft...I feel like waking up slowly and seeing light for the first time...I see white first and then black shades and then I begin to see the BG...far and blurry.
Splendid! goes to my fav'

Fog is a weather condition which always gives photographers the opportunity for excellent pictures. In here, the village looks like something unreal and out of this world. And of course, the men are just coming to the good real part of life. That is what they hope with their own country. The fence played a tremendous role in my thinking. Well done.

I cannot help it, your photos with the morning fog inevitably end up among my favourites, and this one is no exception :) fantastic shot, reminds me of elaborate and delicate Japanese paintings. and I'd add "decisive moment" as a category, the boat is just in the right place to create a very harmonious composition. excellent work, my compliments.
have a great Sunday,

Hi Andreas, this is a deceivingly simple looking shot. There's actually a lot going on here and it is all very well captured. The composition is excellent with the single boat cutting through the fence, and the fog enshrouded town behind. You've managed the light very well, with excellent visibility in both the highlight through to the shadow regions. Very nicely done.
This must be the time for new monitors. I just got a new one and gave up on my "old faithful" yesterday. What a difference, it's like someone has turned on the lights for me. Your shot looks fantastic with this one.
Thanks, John

Hallo Andreas,
Your screen looks good, but seeing your pictures i prefer your eye in creating them. Man you have really stayed in a wonderful place, seeing this every morning you can ask yourself "why should i return home and go to work".
A very strong composed image, that boat and also those fences in the water make the whole image really excellent. The mood created by the fog is wonderful, you have really a great shot here.

Hola Andreas:
The misty soft effect is impressive and of strong clarity of this photo.
Yes, it is simple but it has a big visual force, I like very much the boat crossing the palisade in the water and the delight of the humid ambience of fog of the image.
It is a photo with magic, it is very good.
Felicidades y gracias por compartir.
Un saludo.

Hello Leo
I'm, normally, not a big fan for white sky, but here combined with the fog, its gives a special atmosphere, which I do like. The peaceful morning atmosphere is well conveyed and you captured well these people on the boat, naturally framed in between the fences, which add graphism to the scene. The cottages and 'garage' are providing a perfect BG. It looks almost like a B&W with added colors, giving the impression to look at a painting.
Cheers
Marilyn

Ich liebe diese wenigen Farben und dass der Rest im Nebel ganz leicht eingehuellt bleibt. Das macht alles so vage und laesst Interpretationen offen. Wunderbar leise, magisch, wie es nur ein Morgen sein kann. Barbara.

Hi Leo,
What a fantastic shot! It's beautifully composed and has a very special atmosphere with that misty, almost ethereal light and the delicate reflections on the water.
Although the boat and its passengers are the obvious focus of the picture, I like the way that your eye inevitably ends up drifting to the "boat garage" and its strange golden shapes.
Have a nice evening,

When I thought that your first fog photograph could not be bettered, how wrong I was. An absolutely fabulous shot, superbly composed....love the details of the trio on the boat & the fences & the reflections in the water make the whole image. The fog brings in a wonderful mood & the 'garage' of the celebration boats is an interesting subject as well. Excellent!

Hello Andreas,
From your today's posting, I gotten to this one. And I have to be honest with you; The gate is interesting, the positioning centered, the village in the background. But that skyline totally over-exposed. And I have been reading through the first 50 people commenting. And it's either that I am way too critical, or people just don't care, write a line and give 2 points. But to me, the compo and the fog are wonderful. But the totally over-exposed sky in the background is ruining it for me. Sorry :-/.
Greetings!

Hello Andreas,
Wonderful photo with this very subtle scene of the early morning and the light mist.
The fishermen and the impact created by the sticks is great but for me it's the background that creates the magical feeling of the photo specially caused by the mist and the little buildings in the middle.
This is a wonderful work my friend.

I like this one the best from your Inle series. Although all of the Inle lake/with boats photos are well done. This shot has a nice serenity to it because of the muted colors and foggy background. The lines of the fence offer a nice contrast to the glass like water and the other components of the photo. Your 6 days at Inle were well spent.

Hi Andreas
I like how the front of this shot is perfectly in focus and the background is blurred. Also how the BG is shrouded in fog. Overall this is a quiet, peaceful picture.
