Strange kind of fishes Photo

One more shot of Bled. You can find on the net a lot of photos of this fantastic place. Thanks to the lake's clear water you can easily observe different kind of fishes swimming in it. One of them are these on the photo, but this specie sincerely is not so common to be seen and this is why I posted this shot.

On the picture you can see Slovenia's oldest castle, at the top of a cliff above Lake Bled at an altitude of 604 m. Bled castle was first mentioned in 1011 when the German emperor Henrik II gave it to the Bishops of Brixen. The castle is now arranged as an exhibition area. In summer months, the castle atmosphere is enlivened by the visit of a count and archery tournament, and on warm summer nights, visitors are drawn by concerts of classical music.

A very interesting capture at a decisive moment.
The colours are wonderful. Those are quite uncommon species of "fish" indeed :)
As a side note, I am tempted to crop the front row of grass.

Hi Attila,
Funny title and grat composition with those divers near the coastline of the lake. Good perspective, very natural colours. I like it.

SZia Attila
!
Ügyes halacskák ezek - könnyen elegyensúlyoznak valamilyen palackot a hátukon...!
Ha akarom éles tájkép várral és szép víztükörrel - ha akarom vicces riportfotó :)

A fűcsík pedig szerintem kell, hogy ne "ússzanak ki" lent a képből a halaid...

Jó fotózást!

Ciao Attila, bellissima foto, con un titolo simpatico e dei colori meravigliosi, che quasi quasi mi fanno venir voglia di tirare fuori il mio Padi e riniziare a fare immersioni!
bellissimo anche il riflesso della rocca e del castello nel lago.
Ho letto un pò dei casini che stanno avvenendo a Budapest, spero che tutto finisca bene.

buoan giornata, ciao

Wanda1 (11003) 2006-09-25 6:15

Hi Attila,
A beautiful shot so nice and crisp and clear. The colours are fantastic and I can't believe how clear the water is. Nicely composed.
Regards
Wanda

leiju (1683) 2006-09-25 6:25

Exceptional transparency in the water packed together with a must-see castle of historical importance! What more could you ask from such a picture? :D
Great colors, sharpness, details and composition. There is nothing else left to say except more words of praise! What a shot!
Congrats and TFS!
Julia

lasscor (7637) 2006-09-25 6:58

Hi Attila,

Hi Attila.

Jajajajajajaja. Well seen that "strange" fishes in this lovely place!

Rgs, Oscar

Albrecht (11155) 2006-09-25 8:37

Hi Atilla
I had to take a closer look to see the diver there. Nice compo and good colours and POV and DOF.
greetings Albrecht

tjanze (5674) 2006-09-25 9:38

Hi Attila!
Wow! What a great moment to catch this photo.I like circles on water,feeling of depth and a little grass in front.Amazing photo.Bravo!
P.S. I think lake Bohinj is more beautiful in Slovenia.Lake Bled is more masive touristic atraction because of castle and Casino,but Bohinj is more natural,with mountains around.Lakes are just few kilometers asunder.
Regards!

paura (38742) 2006-09-25 9:47

Atilla,
The transparence of the water is very beautiful.
The compositions is nice, like the colors.
Great landscape, friend.

vinicio (22416) 2006-09-25 11:18

Posto incantevole Attila, bella foto, complimenti, la presenza dei sub è un più che movimenta la foto positivamente per me, bravo, ottimo effetto in un paesaggio da cartolina.
Ciao
Vinicio

t0mmm1 (5434) 2006-09-25 16:11

Ciao Attila,
a prima vista pensavo che l'hai fatta con la pellicola... per i colori - strani ma belli ;)) Ma e' l'effetto di skylight filter questo? Non l'ho mai provato, pero dovro' farlo... cio'e' comprarlo ;)) Bella la vista nel/sul lago, grande DOF con i somozzatori sott'acqua e il castello. Mi ricordo che parlavi di aver fatto tante ore di macchina per traffico... pero' ne valeva la pena. Ci si vede!
Ciao,
Tomi

tatadalou (818) 2006-09-25 16:28

Hi Attila,
Great colours, well saturated.I appreciate your framing which permits us to see both the castle and the divers. Well done,
Delphine

balatrek (7419) 2006-09-25 16:54

Hola Attila,

Impresionante paisaje amigo, que gran composición y que bellos contrastes, los buceadores en primer plano forman una escena muy interesante y el agua acompaña la mirada hasta el castillo que corona la montaña, excelente trabajo, felicidades.

Saludos

Wow!
Lots of details in this one.
I love the colors.
Well done!

Budapestman (42328) 2006-09-25 17:20

Szia Attila!
Milyen fantasztikus kép! – ez volt az első gondolatom a képedet megpillantva. Szenzációs, ahogy a fotón érzékelteted a mélységet és a magasságot, a közelit és a távolit! Igazán különleges térélmény! Elképesztő, hogy egyetlen képen mennyi mindent mutatsz meg a természet szépségéből! A kompozíció szintén kitűnő, egy mesebeli színpadhoz hasonlóan sorakoznak egymás után az újabb és újabb látnivalók: elöl a zöld fű, aztán a gyönyörű vízfelület a mélyben a búvárokkal, végül az apró épületek és a sziklás hegycsúcs. Tényleg mesebeli! Látványos és különleges pillanatot sikerült elkapnod, csodás részletekkel! Gratulálok és további szép képeket!
Gyuri

UI: Most vettem észre, hogy előző képed elkerülte figyelmem az elmúlt napok forgatagában. Erről holnap írok.
Egyébként itthon kicsit lenyugodtak a kedélyek, de attól tartok, politikusaink nem fognak. Nem tudom, hogyan lesz megoldás erre a helyzetre, ami leginkább két részeg verekedésére hasonlít, akiket nem tud szétválasztani senki. Ez kellet még nekünk!

Gerrit (35937) 2006-09-25 17:29

Hi Atilla,
great combination of the divers in the clear water and the disney-like castle high up the hill.
Good choise of the vertical exposition.
Regards, Gerrit

isabela_sor (42215) 2006-09-25 17:58

Perfect shot to show this castle ant place, excelent choice for the vertical format and beautiful light... interesting effect with the water in foreground and these divers :)
Excellent photo!
All the best
Isabela

Scharan (13955) 2006-09-25 19:12

Grande foto Attila, composição lindíssima com a visão do castelo no alto; fico imaginando a vista que se tem lá do alto...
Cores belas, um céu lindo também.
Grande abraço,
Vera.

prezntime (3945) 2006-09-25 20:43

Hey Attila.
I think I caught one of those fish before, quite chewy! 8?)
Superb colors and I like the tall framing. The castle at the top only adds more interest to this wonderful photograph. Very nice mirrored triangles created by the mountain and its reflection.
Well done.
Regards,
Chris.

Ciao Attila, originale e con un colore di acqua spettacolare!il POV è originale, mi piace molto che tu abbia inquadrato una fettina di erba..Belle linee orizzontali nell' immagine e bel soggetto!

Hi Attila
Excellently composed with a wonderful range of colours. The richness of the colour saturation brings out the scene powerfully. I like your control of dof too, as there is sharpness from back to front. Well done.
Aubrey

pablominto (40958) 2006-09-26 5:08

Hi Attila,
I like the composition!
Two subject to attract attention here, first my eyes go to the castle next the scuba divers...
Wise to include this foreground interest, the colours are stunning!

Bonjour, mon ami Attila,
Cela me fait plaisir de revenir sur vos photographies. Ici, encore, je ne suis pas déçu de cette très jolie composition. Plusieurs sujets sont parfaitement rendus (ce magnifique château situé sur un python rocheux, et ces plongeurs qui se meuvent dans une eau translucide).
Une très belle image. Bravo, mon ami, Attila.
Amitiés.
Philippe

kermit350 (8988) 2006-09-29 11:10

Hello Attila, it is almost Amazonia this color of water!, beautiful composition with these plungers in foreground, a very beautiful image with this superb spot of color on this lake whose surface is hardly wrinkled, This composition all in height and high also in the tone greens has an excellent strong point with this perched village, our eye is immediately directed towards him. The reflections are very beautiful also. Great art, as usual, sincerely

TeresaT (10733) 2006-09-30 17:08

Hello Atilla,
Great capture of these "strange fishes".
The colours are superb and I like the inclusion of this little stripe of grass on the lower part of the image...it brings a nice colourful to it.
Beuaitful reflection too.
Regards
Teresa

maximage (13490) 2006-10-01 12:11

benkrut (3395) 2006-10-03 18:47

Hi Attila!
I don't know whom I envy more: the divers under the water or you who captured such an interesting picture. You have used perfectly this great scenery by including the divers here.
My compliments
Henryk

arjun_das (1850) 2006-10-04 7:03

Bonjour Attila,
Superbe paysage aux très belles couleurs.
Parfait cadrage.
Une belle lumière qui traverse cette eau transparente et qui donne une vue à travers sur les poissons.
Excellente journée

Angshu (33877) 2006-10-11 3:33

Hello Attila
Superbly composed...great range of colours here. Wonderful DOF to highlight the castle in the BG with the wonderful lake & the 'fishes' in the FG. A fuuny note & a very apt caption. Well done my friend!

Angshu

jafadabret (39923) 2006-10-12 5:04

Belle composition, Attila, avec le château sur le piton rocheux mais surtout l'eau limpide qui laisse voir la présence des nageurs.
Jacques

josepmarin (33861) 2006-10-12 5:41

Hi Attila,
I like the great aesthetic resistance that form the beautiful castle at the top of the cliff, with magnificent reflections on the lake, and the divers under its waters, in a little habitual image and a little impressive.
The landscape is very pretty and you have caught it perfectly in your frame, with a good POV, where in addition you have worked very well exposure, obtaining to a good light and very natural colors.
It is a good photo, I like much.
Regards,
Josep

dkeus31 (26266) 2006-10-12 6:26

Hello Attila,
Nice composition with the castle in one corner and the strange fishes :o)
would have been (for me) perfect if only on "fish" in the right corner
Didier

Tue (25608) 2006-10-12 13:05

Hej Attila,
Very interesting to see these fishes! :-) And the landscape here looks very nice too. The castle on top of these rocks looks fine and I also like the attractive colours and the reflections in the water. Good work and thanks for sharing!
Hilsen,
Lars

alekpet (4659) 2006-10-14 1:40

Zdravo, Attila.

Seems like you caught a great moment.
Also, I like the way you show the whole length of the lake and still have enough room for the grass and the castle. A very new and refreshing view of the lake.

take care, Aleks

Henryk_Bilor (20367) 2006-10-15 5:55

Hi Attila
Lovely place. Great composition with the diver in the foreground. Beautiful colours.
Regards

emjleclercq (14386) 2006-10-17 18:59

I much prefer the magnifiscent color of your lake than the human fishes or frogs (shall I say frogmen..) swimming in it, although they are a nice proof how clear the water is. The background with the small castle on its eagle's nest is wonderfull too.

All the best,

Emmanuel

axiotea (16171) 2006-10-22 6:18

Hi Attila,
The water is so clear that we can see (without snorkel :) ) the strange fishes with two legs. The view is fantastic with the castle dominating the lake and the inclusion of green grass in FG well seen.
Cheers,
Marilyn
P.S The frame of your photo is done in PS?

lestans (15474) 2006-10-26 18:13

Chissà come mai mi era sfuggita questa foto tanto particolare! Spiritosa, ma anche un bellissimo paesaggio, nitido e colorato.

Chissà cosa cercavano quei sub, magari c'era qualche problema serio, ma come la hai messa tu la cosa fa ridere!

Livia

anesugur (16930) 2006-10-29 4:47

Hello Attila
Wow what's a wonderful landscape! Really beautiful :). Well composed. Excellent, rich colours which I like very much. Great sharpness and lighting. I like the red&white castel on the white rock against a background of the green forest.

Hello Attila,
Well done shot. Very good composition and funny title.

Hát, erre a fajta halra még nem találtam receptet. A szokatlan vízi lényeket leszámítva a kép egészen meseszerű a tó fölé magasodó sziklával, afölött a piros tetőkkel.
