Interesting reading from the reservation web-site:
www.agamon-hula.co.il
The Hula-lake Ornithology (Bird Watching) and Nature Park, is situated in the heart of the Hula Valley. The valley bordered by mountain ranges, which is critically located in the center of the Afro-Syrian Rift and one of the most significant bird migration routes in the world. During every migration seasons (fall and spring), over 500 million birds from more than 400 species migrate in the skies above along this route. Thousands remain at the Agamon (small lake) during the winter, and other choose to nest here during the spring and summer.
The Hula-Agamon is a unique eco-system of regional and international importance that had developed with time. The park is a highly significant and prominent center for eco-tourism in Israel and throughout the world, and a model for cooperation between nature, tourism and agriculture.

Hello Ike,
Peace and serenity reign; the birds quietly feed undisturbed. The vegetation makes an attractive frame and contributes some colour to the foreground. Pleasant soft lights and understated tones.

Hi Ike,
The wideness of the lake is creating depth. The point of view is showing the details of the mountains. The light is giving good colors rendering. My main computer is not working, I am using my tablet to access internet, have a nice day.

Hello Ike,
A beautiful view of the calm lake, which is home to many birds. The gentle slopes make a great background and are reflected beautifully in the small ripples. Very well captured.

Hello Ike
Nice repetition of the ducks and waterfowl in the distance. Impeccable sharpness and the fg blades of green grass add depth and layering to the composition. Tfs!

Hello, Ike.
A beautiful image with the calm waters of the lake and those ducks enjoying, I like this green touch of plants in the foreground, good perspective with the greenery of the other shore, and the arid slopes of the Altos del Golan, which were so famous sadly in the past.
Colorful, sharpness and brightness are captured excellently.
Good composition.
Have a good weekend.
Warm greetings.
Luis.

Hello Ike,
I happened to overlook this photo the other day, but it's certainly worth a good look. It's a well structured composition with beautiful reflections of the sky and the hillside, and the ducks all seem to have gathered in the lightest area of the water. There is an attractive play of light and shades on the hillside and you added a nice frame of reeds in the foreground.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ha! Ha! Ike, the leaves of grass appear like little heads, surreptitiously watching the progress of the birds on the lake!
It's a pleasingly, calm scene, the birds setting the mood as they leisurely swim on the water, backed by the sunlit sections on the Golan Heights.
It was interesting to read just how important this region is for migrating birds.
Have a lovely Sunday,
Bev :-)

Bonjour, cher ami Ike,
Une fois de plus, j'ai raté cette prise de vue qui mérite pourtant des éloges.
Tout est dit à travers la composition, il suffit de regarder et d'admirer !
Amitiés.

Shalom Ike,
there is a good contrast between the water of the lake, the greenery surrounding it, and the soft tonealities of the hills and the slopes of the Golan Heights.
The small waves on the water and the natural life provided by many birds, create a beautiful composition, executed perfecly.
It's a nice work, my friend.
Kind regards,
Josep

Hi Ike,
I remember being impressed with your previous photos from this enchanted place.
It is a great photogenic spot but you had also a great light conditions here.
The flock of the birds in the centre seems to be almost in a spotlight.
Very attractive for the eye multiple horizontal layers.
Great wild life photography,
M

Hello Ike,
A beautiful landscape and very remarkable with the lake so close to the barren slopes.
Nice with the colour difference between the sunlit part and the rest of the slope in the shade.
The top of the plants on the foreground gives more depth to the picture.
Best regards, Paul
