Photographer's Note
Bachsee above Grindelwald in the Lόtschental, Bernese Oberland, Switzerland.
Near perfect reflection of high mountains in the Bachsee, with the Schreckhorn in the centre. We had been told that if we reached the lake fairly early in the morning, there was a good chance that the wind would not yet have disturbed the surface. Accordingly, we caught the first cablecar from Wengen up and over to Grindelwald, dashed through the town to the First cablecar, and from the top, route-marched for half an hour to the lake. It was worth it, as I hope you'll agree. The Shreckhorn is a beautiful mountain.

Hello Will - I like the painterly quality of this shot, the detail in the central mountain and reflection is so well defined one gets a good feel for the volumes and angles. A fine shot and a pleasure to view. Best regards rosemary

Hi Will
impressive shot, classic 2 for the price of one image. Immaculate execution, clarity and colours. Now I know you are not a great post-processor Will, and taken me to task about it, but I can see a few dust spots in the water here! ;-)
That aside I love the image it is beautiful!!
Warm regards - Brian.

Hello Will,
A lovely picture and well worth the effort of an early morning rise and trek!
The reflections are truly stunning and the colours and contrasts are very true and natural - not, as you have pointed out, the oversaturated colours and exaggerated contrasts which we so frequently see here. An excellent, almost symmetrical, composition and exquisite detail and sharpness.
Beautiful!
Kind Regards,
John.
P.S. Good of Brian to point out a couple of tiny dust spots in the foreground - I must confess that my monitor attracts so much dust and crud that I wouldn't have noticed them myself!

Hi Will
Wow, you must be pleased as punch with this shot. It's stunning, among your best. The dusky tones are awe-inspiring, I love the luminous water and the reflections. Top job, friend, congratulations.

Bonsoir Will,
La symιtrie du reflet de la montagne dans l'eau est trθs rιussie et due ΰ un bon choix de POV judicieux.
La couverture nuageuse qui surplombe la montagne donne un certain mystθre ΰ ta composition.
Ombres et lumiθre se font la part belle.
Amitiιs

Hi Will,
It is fascinating to see this high alpine lake still, reflecting mountain tops and glaciers. Certainly worth hurrying. While I have visited Grindelwald many times, I've never taken First cable car up. Looks like one thing to add to to-do list.

It looks like a paint. One of those paintings that are trying to be as real as possible.
What you needed here was a duck somewhere in the foreground !!!

Hi Will!
I am in Bali since three weeks and while walking a lot under the tropical sun I sometimes wished to be at a cold place like this one.
A great photo with perfect reflections.
Greetings from Candi Dasa beach,

Πολύ ωραίο τοπίο!
Ιδανική τοποθεσία για φωτογράφηση! Η ήρεμη επιφάνεια του νερού, έδωσε την ευκαιρία στον φωτογράφο να αποθανατίσει την στιγμή και το όμορφο φυσικό περιβάλλον! Φοβερό ανάγλυφο!
Μπράβο!

Hi Will,
The sense of cold from this picture is wonderful, and much appreciate as we bake today in Irelands clammy warm september. The central mountain looks perfect, and somewhat ominous. The reflection is a great bonus to the whoe capture.
Thanks for sharing
Noel
