This is a terrific composition, Jorma. I like the tree pointing into the scene towards the sunset. I wouldn’t change the comp at all. I do feel that the HDR effect took some of the contrast from the image. Especially on the trees to the left. I think you could brush in more contrast in those areas and come away with an even more dramatic image. Still, it’s wonderful as is too. ---

Hey Jorma! Wow that light is wild. I love when the sky explodes with color like that. The calm waters reflecting the color really amplify that energy in the scene, so I love that about the image. Two things I would consider. One, the shoreline in the bottom right is a little distracting and takes away from the calm serenity of the smooth reflecting water. Second, the shadows are slightly bright and could be darkened some. Really lovely scene! ---

Hi Jorma. I agree with the David’s, it’s a beautiful scene. I love a good reflection. Looks like that lake was glass. I do think the HDR has made the background shoreline too light and it’s distracting to me, I think darkening it would correct that and not take anything from the image. ---

Thanks a lot guys. Easily get photos that are too light when I post them on the internet. For example, the picture on Instagram gets a lot lighter. I filed a little and now it looks better ![Paatsjoki2](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/9/7/97525e17f7bab483804d8529ac8f0f7632510150.jpeg) ---

Lovely scene. I like the way you processed the colors here. The elements all seem to work well together. My only thing is it “feels” slightly leaning left for some reason but I don’t think it is! Strange effect!
