Landscape Photo Competition 2018 No 1 : Entry Number 34

The clever square crop brings strength to this photograph. The autumn colours are lovely and real, the reflection perfectly calm. Your grad filter (or maybe it is your processing) is a little heavy, making the reflection lighter than the reality which is a little misleading, but the general tonality of this photograph is stunning.

My name is Günther Reissner and I live in Austria. This shot was taken just before sunset in the fall at the Gosau Lake, with the Dachstein Peak reflecting in it beautifully. I used a wide angle lens on my Nikon D610. Postprocessing was done in LR and Color Efex Pro. Thanks for the award and congrats to the winner, well deserved.
