Hi Markus

A truly great photo from you and yet another example o the symbols and keys behind your photography.
I just love the composition here - with the still reflection and the diagonal log creating a perfect triangle - as well as the general exposure and colors captured.
A very well thought of photo, taken with much skill and dedication.

Bravo and TFS

Bonsoir Markus,
Il semble que la bonne saison commence pour toi! Superbe jeu de miroirs, de structures et de teintes subtiles. Je n'ai pas pu résister à pencher ma tête vers la gauche pour voir ce que ça donnerait... Intéressant. Une sorte de pyramide ou de voie "ferrée" en bois, avec une tête de cobra au bout... Bref, comme toujours tu parviens à susciter mon imagination. Amitiés,
Catherine

Hi Markus
I get it!
This is really a beautiful reflection and landscape. There are so many interesting textures, colors and shadows here, which are reflected perfectly into the water...double beauty.

Hello Markus,
such a stunning composition. The reflection is in perfection with good artistic style.
The braches, the water and the colours are really exciting to see.
You have given a special attention, and that attention is amazing and very impressive indeed.
Very well appreciated composition in your special genre.

Regards,
Foozi

Hello Markus,
A beautiful composition showing a perfect mirror image of the decayed branches in the water. I like the stones too and the fine details and colour contrasts.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Lieber Markus,
Freue mich wieder ein Photo von Dir zu sehen! Ein sehr wildes und natürliches Bild, Widerspiegelung der Orte, die Dir lieb sind. Eine interessante Bildkonstruktion, die horizontal wie vertikal präsentiert werden könnte. Aber auf diese Weise gefällt sie mir auch bessser.Ein "archaisch" aus alten Zeiten herkommendes Bild auch.
Herzliche Grüsse über die Stadt

Hy Markus
I hope that your mood is not down as this fallen tree.
Perfect simetric reflections, maybe not as poetic as your other images, but still keeping the details and inspiration. Well done!

All the best
Oana

Hello Markus,
We call such perfectly calm water 'spegelblank'. Indeed, this is a perfect example of how water can be a perfect mirror, as here in the reflection of this dead young spruce tree to create a wonderful pattern with the late autumnal colours forming a great BG.
A melancholic time of year that still has beauty, as you found it.
A time to reflect!
Thanks Markus for this fine contribution!
With kind regards,
Ivan

Markus, you are blessed with an uncanny sense of identifying beauty in nature that most of us are blind to.
In this composition, the real and the reflected parts of a fallen branch make a perfectly symmetrical horizontal shape that my mind cannot help associating with the concept of Mandala -- an Oriental symbol Carl Gustav Jung interpreted as representative of the Self. When you refer to it as your own "portrait", you are actually referring to your own 'Self'.
It is not what we see in this picture that is important; it is what we don't 'see'.
Hope I do not sound crazy and/or pompous to you, my friend.
Thanks for this valuable insight through your great picture and best regards.

Hello Markus,
The detail and color in the reflection is so good that it is hard to tell when the real branch ends and the reflection begins. A nicely composed image with wonderful artistic qualities. Well done!!

Hi Markus.
I like how you relate this perfect symmetry of the reflection with your life. It is a true mirror like image and the stillness of the water is amazing. Nicely processed in RAW with pleasing natural tone. Thanks for sharing and best regards.
