Photographer's Note
One Boat
In my school all stundents of 9th grade have to do a one week internship to gain some work experience. So I decided to go to Biel, a city with approximately 50000 inhabitants in the north middle of Switzerland. After working about 8-9 hours in the engineering company every day, I still had some time to go climbing or hiking. On my second day, I did a hike, where you had a brilliant view to the Lake Biel (Lac de Bienne). As you can see on my photo there were many people canoeing or boating in the lake. I could have taken a photo with the same focal lenght where you can see at least five boats because the lake was really full of them, but I decided to make it minimalist.
I΄m glad for any advice, hint or proposition, that could help me to improve my photography.

Wow thats an exceptionally lovely idea which brings about the relative sizes so well and the starkness of the sea. I like the hues and textures and the way you have compsoed the shot

Hello Jonas
Ample space with the boat positioned well in the bottom left. Very good ripple formations in the water and natural water colours. Very good Jonas.

Hallo Jonas,
Boy you have really a great eye in seeing things and the way how to capture them. This is so simple, but so clever composed, i really like it. The lonely boat on the water with the small waves all over the lake is just wonderful.
Not bad for a Nikon ;-)

Bien vu Jonas,
le graphisme formι par toutes les ondulations sur la surface, le bateau est bien placι, du champs lui est donnι pour voir vers oω il va.
Excellent POV en altitude.
Un tout bon dimanche.

Very simple but nice, Great texture of the water, love the pattern of the lake as the wind swept and boat leave behind the trails. As much as I love the scene of the water, I think it could use a little closer up shoot. just a little bit too much empty space. Though I do like the way it show the scale of this lake. thanks

Olα Jonas, wonderful minimalist composition with lovely textures on the water and natural colors. Yes, less is more, so 1 is problably better than 5. Still, I would like to see the boat to stand out more...don't know exactely how. Anyway, you had a smart idea and this is a lovely image.

Hello Jonas,
Good placement of the boat in the image with beautiful blue lake water! if you can have the horizon of the lake will be even better for this sort of composition if not it will be a bit blank in this subject, just a sincere thought and hope you do not mind!
best regards

Hello my friend Jonas,
Perhaps a few people would dare for this picture to making, it's simple, but formidable seen!
The moving in water with the small waves and than the boat under in the corner, my compliments my friend.
Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice day,
John.

Hi Jonas,
A very simple photograph with a very good framing on the oar which seems lost in this lake. I like the graphic side of the image with all these undulations on water surface. Well seen and well done Jonas, cheer.
With all my friendships and a very good week,
Jean-Charles

Hallo Jonas,
Wow! It's fabulous!
I adore the minimalism in it. The high POV is stunning and so is the texture on the water that "fills" the image despite its actual "emptiness". I really don't see what can be improved here.
Bravo!
Regards, Josι.

Hallo Jonas!
Gute Entscheidung dieses Bild zu prδsentieren .Mir gefδllt das minimalistische.Die Linien und Ratuen auf dem See sind ein schφner graphischer Effekt und das Boot ist gut platziert.

It's quite a daring and creative minimalist composition. The texture caused by the ripples of the water are what makes it a success. Personally I wouldn't have placed the boat so tighly in the corner. Roughly the same place but with a bit more water around it. It seems the others like it where it is so I am out-numbered. :)

Bonjours,
belle photo de cette immensitι d' eau sur laquelle cette frθle esquisse se dιplace.
Jolies couleurs et bonne nettetι.
Un peut comme mes balons dans le ciel, le risque est grand de ne pas avoir d' amateur, mais non, les gens ont l' air d' aprιcier ce genre de prise.
Ces quelques lignes, ondιes sur cette eau donne de la vie a votre prise.

Hallo Jonas! Exzellentes "fast gar nichts", und wenn man nicht genau hinschaut, dann koennte es auch nur Wasser sein. Ich finde die Wahl richtig gut, dass das Boot ganz weit unten ist, das tut dem Auge gut und ist richtig harmonisch. Tolle Arbeit, und geht gleich in meine "Favoritenbox" ... Gruss aus Zuerich, Barbara.

Hi Jonas,
Superb photo, a very simple composition, but it is so strong and works so well. A beautiful pattern on the water thanks to the many small waves. The single boat is really well included in the bottom left hand corner and the light was also pleasant. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Hello Jonas,
Seems like the team is practicing the eight, maybe preparing for the upcoming Olympics, hehehe!
Interesting minimalism, seen from an amazing point of view...

Hi Jonas,
I really like this composition and the fact that you decided to go minimalistic. I think that makes the photo special. Very artistic! Colorful, sharp and simply well-done!
See ya,

Hello Jonas
You had taken a wise decision here. The minimalist compo. works really well. We do see a couple of wakes of water left behind by canoes. The cross ripples of the water makes it even more attractive. I might have wished the canoe to be little bit higher, roughly at thirds of the frame height, as an option. But as it is this is an excellent shot!
Best Regards
Angshu
