Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia
...and how absolutely stunning it is Liners. I like how there is a line in the water that kind of halves and draws your eye to the beautiful reflection. I also love that there isn't anything in sight but the natural beauty, it makes you feel yourself relaxing just looking at this image. Ahhhh, just lovely! :o)

I love the way the lake looks like it is half clear glass and half frosted glass, the reflections start after the frosting. Neat shot C.

@maxine: Thanks Max:-) I know, it was quite strange to see the line in the water but I think it deffinately made the shot more appealing so glad you agree:-))

@Eric Fry: You're more than welcome to NZ Eric:-)) Its strange that my Mum said I was always good at taking a good photo with her camera but I never actually took it up as a hobby til I got to NZ 3 years ago...ya just can't help it here!!!

Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
I know I should have gone to NZ when I had the chance... ahhh... no regrets... life is short and so one day I will hopefully get there... I was to young (emotionally/mentally) when I had the chance to go and would not have appreciated it...

@Fliss: Ah but all good things come to those who wait! Apparently:-))

This is really beautiful!
Is the reflection of the mountain and the clouds really only on half the lake? How did that happen - Is half of it ice?
13 Aug 2008 2:21am
@tkbphotos: Very good question!! Now I'm pretty sure it wasn't ice. I thought it was the way the breeze was blowing over the lake...that is, the part that is smooth with the reflection is sheltered by the mauntains whilst the other part was open to the elements of the cool breeze. Now I could be very wrong here, so if anyone has another explanation??....
DarkElf from Perth, Australia
stunning view you have captured here! i like your composition and i like the effect that the reflection and the water has on my mind - as though the bottom part of the frame was just glued on where the surface changes from rough into smooth...
13 Aug 2008 3:12am
@DarkElf: Thank you...I can see what you mean. It was very strange to see the sky so clearly in the water. Thanks for your comments:-)
Kathryn from Warburton, Australia
OHMYGOODNESS! look at that reflection!!!! Whoah..........!!! also the sharp edge to the snow on the bottom right has a great negative/positive space thing going on - like the water and fog have a solid shape to them - you know what i mean?? i am terrible at try to explain things like that! a very very cool shot Liners!
