Photographer's Note
Lake Iidesjδrvi and belfry of Viinikka church in October morning.
This is a shot I had planned for quite a while. In the summertime the sun was too high and greens looked flat. I thought some sunny autumn morning would be the best time to catch this. September was warm and the foliage didn't change colours. When the weather cooled down, the sun just refused to shine. The day I shot this was about the only chance this year.

Hi Kari,
You waited for the right time and took the picture at the right moment. A very lovely deep autumn colour which creates a beautiful atmosphere in the whole landscape.
The reflection from the tower, the two ducks in the water...it all looks wonderful.
Great shot...perfect work.
Regards, Henk

Hi, Kari. You captured a very nice light here. The orange leaves stand out very wella against the lake and the sky. The church tower is an eye-catcher with its white colour. the reflections on the lake are very nice.

Beautiful light, colors and reflections on the water Kari, compliments, it's a pity that these colors have so short life in your country, really lovely and fascinating, you well planned this image, well done.

Hi Kari - the light and colours are amazing, but if the sun is that rare, I'm glad I did not go there in october, I do want to see the ruska colours though, the remaining greens add variety.

Light and colours simply perfect! You did well to wait and get the best out of the scenery.... I think the shot would work really well without the ducks as well :) Quite simply brilliant trees, in soft smooth 3D feel and then that splash of colour and brightness in the form of a tower. Really well seen!
TFS!

Hello Kari,
Beautiful colours and a great atmosphere!
The special lighting adds a warmth to the scenery, and makes the church(tower) really stand out...
Well composed presentation, great details!

Terve Kari,
Looking at the result I think it was worth waiting, you got in this one the glowing trees at their best and your resulting photo is sort of luminous in a slightly dark way, the reflection is lovely and the ducks add some depth, I like it.
Have a nice day,
JEan-Yves

Hei Kari,
I like this view a lot, great colours! The swimming ducks make the picture so romantic. I really like this calm and silent lake, and how the trees have changed the colour. Awesome!

Un paysage d'une puretι ΰ couper le souffle, Kari !
J'aime la simplicitι de la composition avec des bandes horizontales dιrangιes par ce clocher trθs fin sous la belle lumiθre. C'est un rιgal ιgalement pour les belles couleurs d'automne.

Hi Kari
October was a very sunny month in France even in the North. In Finland, it's more difficult but you succeed with a nice shot with great colors abd reflection.
Cheers

Hi Kari,
Reading your note, I see that it required a lot of patience from you to take this shot. But you were greatly rewarded for that long wait, because the result is simply marvellous. The coulours and the light on the trees and belfry is just perfect and soft blue sky makes a good background. I like your symmetrical composition and those two small ducks had the good idea of being there just at the right time.
Have a nice week-end.

The chance well taken, Kari! The light on the tree tops and on the tower is stunning, and lovely is the symmetrical compo broken by the ducks.

Yes, this was what I was thinking when I saw the Spring version. A wide view of the place with the entire reflection. I still like the other composition because the tower gets more preeminence, but this one is even better for my taste. You know I like wide views... I would have cropped a little on the right. Probably by the last dark tree. I think that little brown bush in the far right (close to the water edge) doesn't belong there. And the little ducks too... They are so close to the edge of the frame to make a difference. Great warmth.
