The Lake House

Posted under Color, Critiqued, Landscape

The Lake HouseSlovenia was a republic of Yugoslavia until their independence in 1991.  Located at the eastern end of the Alps just south of Austria it is one of the most beautiful areas in Europe, form Mediterranean beaches to Alpine forests.

Our world traveler photographer has returned with this image of Lake Bled.  The photo-artist has given us a scene of a home on an alpine lake.  The composition only shows water and trees, this technique allows our imagination to determine how high the mountains are in the background.  The architecture of the house leads us to believe this to be a European scene rather than one here in North America.  Locating the house on the one third line rather than the center of the frame adds depth to the image.

I would like to suggest to the photographer that they consider removing the reflective surface of water along the bottom of the frame to give a more consistent look.  Also the colors could be punched up a little.
