beautiful color, really like 2 and 3 - especially 3 with that boat in it.

I like the last one the best. The grass covers just the right amount of water, but doesn't protrude into the sky.

#3 with the boat is hands down my favorite. Very nice set.

Great shots. The boat is a wall hanger.

thanks guys!
It was a very beautiful place with a nice sunset / sunrise.

i'm really happy i had the chance to be there to enjoy it!!
=)

I like the boat shot alot but would love to see if you could lighten it just a bit in processing...a gradient filter would do it!

i have tried, but the original photo has the boat so dark that if i get it any lighter the photo gets attacked by the Grain Monster!!

The day after i took this shots, when i was looking at them in the computer, i was quiet sorry i didn't take a flash light with me to do some light-painting.
But you know, at that moment, there, taking the shots i was getting EATEN by nasty mosquitos, so i couldn't think proper and was actually in a bit of a hurry to get out of there (with lot's of "mosquito bumps" in my face, forehead and hands).
Finnish mosquitoes as vicious. It's crazy!!!
