Artist's Comments

When you drive through Norway you see alot of beautiful nature. And then you spot this really odd house, situated on the most unavailable spot. A hermite must have lived here before the road passing it on the other side of the lake was built. It really didn't look like anybody lived there now.

This was a scene that begged to be photographed, so I yelled to the driver to stop and snapped a few quick ones.

To be honest, I was not completely happy about the results as I got back home to Sweden and I left it untouched since August. But now I finally got this shot out again and brought it back to life with a little help from our dear old friend Mr. Photoshop and his associates Mr. Curves and Sir Color Balance.

Now it more resemble the photograph I stored in my head than it did before. Hope you like it.

Lite suddigt men det är knappt att det gör något faktiskt... Ljuset och reflektionen i vattnet är riktigt snyggt, underbar spegelblank sjö.

This one needs some sharpening I think.. If you've got photoshop, try filter > sharpen > unsharp mask and enter values 151, 1, 0, that should sharpen it up a bit for you. Oh, and while I'm at it, I'd take out that white border, or reduce the opacity of it to 20% or thereabouts, and replace the text with something -this size and style-, as it gives your frame a more professional look.

It's a wonderful shot still though, and beautiful colours. It's well composed, and the reflection is absolutely stunning!

Thanks for the tip, I should absolutely do that!
Just one thing, I didn't quite get what you mean by "-this size and style-".

And finally, thanks for the +fav.

no problems at all =)
What I meant was choose a font and fontsize like the one you see here in the comments =)
