ciao Kristaps,
a timeless scene....with an amazing background.
atitlan lake is a very scenic place to visit...the volcano presence is pretty scaring!

Very well composed picture. The composition is quite even, with the mountain taking up the left part of the picture and the boat the right one; really makes for a fine picture with no empty areas.

Hello Kristaps,
I like the morning light and the composition, i.e. the boat pointing toward the volcano. Also simply like that it shows me another aspect of this place I had wanted to visit for a long time. Have a nice time in Chili. Claude.

Excellent light, framing, and what a perfect timing for a shot! the main diagonal is formed by the boat, the splash, and the mountain top. A gem.

Hello Kristaps!
Simple but truly beautiful!
Again the volcano back there plays an important role in this image ( I love them !).
However the boat with the fisherman is really a highlight in this well thought and done composition!
I really like it!
TFS - Congratulations!
Warmest regards,

Kristaps,
Beautiful scenery accompany by the fisherman make the composition even better. I like the light that illuminated him very well, making him almost on a spot light and focus of attention which he is the main subject. Very nice and rich dark blue water. Thanks

Kristaps, you got one in that I somehow missed. I like the action of the splash. Well composed as always, great capture.

nice shot, you have captured the splash of water crisp sharp and sun rays reflecting through it is making it marvelous.

Hi, Kristaps -
Neat shot! The way the sun caught the splash is perfect. The guy in the boat is overexposed, though; could be toned down with some brushwork, perhaps. Check your histogram next time.
Enjoy Chile!
Best,
Dan

Hi Kristaps,
Rivitting capture of the ancient fishing technique set in this beautiful mountain lake.
Striking reflection of the rusty old boat against the riffling blue lake.
Love the action from the fisherman's net hitting the water against the power mountains and blue sky backdrop.

Hello Kristaps,
What a great catch, both the fish and the photograph. The light, timing, exposure, composition — all excellent. The famous volcano serves as a second focal point to the fisherman in his small boat.
Warm regards,
Bulent
