Hi Yuri,
#1 does it for me; the colors and comp are wonderful. My only nitpick is the horizon appears to be tilting to the right ever so slightly.

#2 had wonderful comp and colors as well. The mist adds a feel and I like your use of the grasses in the foreground to give depth.

#3 just doesn't do it for me. It's a beautiful picture, well composed but doesn't move me like your others. Guess it's the dark trees in the background. I looked at the lilies close up (tighter crop) and it worked better for me. The trees are still inferred from the reflections. I do like the contrast of the lilies on the dark water, it makes them stand out nicely.

Can't really say why, but #1 really works for me. Thanks for sharing,
Chris

Hi Yuri,

I agree with Higgmeister, #1 is my favorite as well. Great composition and gorgeous lighting!

#2 is really nice, too. I like the composition and the mist. Not to nitpick, but I wish the closet clump of grass was in sharper focus. Maybe the photo really is and just doesn't appear that way in the posting?

#3 is nice too. I like the way the lilies stand out in the shadow.

Great shots!

Awesome, Yuri! Boy would I like to go there....
... just sittin' in that boat fishing all day long. Images like that gives me an ace in my chest from longing. Nature and fishing has always been a big part of my life - but with two small boys and a spouse that feels the other way around when it comes to wildlife - well, dreamin' is jus as close as I get. Wonderful images as usuall, Yuri!
