Hello Laurent.
Congratulations on your 200th post. A nice mellow scene. I actually like dark lighting very mich and I think people are less willing to experiment when it is so easy to make your pictures "perfect" with photoshop. Good almost monotone color quality. Quite different from the usual shots containing palmtrees that we usually see.
Chris.

Hi Laurent, congratulations on #200. This is an interesting point of view. Most of your picture is in your reflection. It works very well. I started looking at this shot with the forest on the far side of the water, but then found myself checking out the sun, sky and palms in the reflection. Very nicely done.

Thanks, John

Hi Laurent,
This is a great image you captured. The sun looks wonderful in the reflections as do the palm trees, very nice indeed. Well seen and captured.
Cheers,
Debbie

Salut Laurent,

Une chance que Marilyn était là, sinon, il n’y aurait pas eu de 200ième! Félicitations!!

Scène paisible, pratiquement monochrome (n’eût été de la feuille ocre...), où le fleuve sert de miroir pour laisser voir ce qui n’apparait pas dans la photo.

Bravo pour la continuité!

André

Félicitations pour cette superbe 200ème, Laurent. Je vois que c'est simple d'emprunter l'appareil des autres quand on ne veut pas abimer le sien ! J'aime beaucoup cette photo qui n'est pas du N&B puisque une petite (feuille ou libellule) orange vient faire ressortir les noirs et les gris. La réflexion des palmiers est sublime. Bonne continuation !
Amicalement.
Jacques

Salut Laurent
une très belle ambiance pour cette 200ième, le résultat de ce soleil filtré par les nuages est superbe.
Et après 200 photos et pads loin de deux ans sur TE, tu pars encore en ballade sans ton APN!!
Joli coup d'oeil en tout cas
Amicalement

Salut Laurent,
thanks and congratulations for 200 shared moments. This reflected sky is very impressive. The cloud structure are excellent visible (beside the palms). Well done with "strange" tools.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

This has a very atmospheric and romantic mood, Laurent. I thought it was in black and white until I looked at Marilyn's picture. The arrangement of the two dark masses and the reflection of the palm trees in the water, give it balance and context. Regards kevin

riclopes (35577) 2007-06-28 11:29

Spectacular image and congratulations for your 200th post (already!?!). The atmosphere is fantastic and I love the way you focused on the reflection, giving us just a bit on top, for some context. I like to think that the water bugs are birds flying in the sky... ;-) Beautiful natural b&w image.

Salut Laurent,
Félicitations pour ton 200e post! ;o)
J'aime bien cette compo toute en reflets avec les silhouettes des arbres sur la droite et le dessin des nuages à la surface de l'eau. Je me serais peut être décaler un peu vers la gauche, histoire que le soleil (ou plutôt son reflet) soit un peu moins centré, mais autrement c'est une belle image, quasi en N&B.
Amicalement, Brigitte

lestans (17258) 2007-06-28 17:48

Ciao Laurent! Che immagine bella e drammatica , che intenso modo per descrivere l'arrivo del monsone! Mi piace molto il riflesso delle nuvole, così scure.
Mi piacerebbe vedere Goa, ma per un po' non ho programmi di tornare in India.
Ciao!

Hi Laurent,
Congratulations on your 200th. Nice going indeed. Its been a pleasure seeing your wonderful images. Beautiful reflections, even with a 'borrowed' camera.
Best Wishes

batalay (41261) 2007-06-29 8:16

Bonjour Laurent,

When I first saw this image, I was convinced that we were looking at the reflection of the sun, peeking through the clouds. It's very much more impressive to have the moon like this. Congratulations on this superb shot, and moreso congratulations for the 200th photo you've submitted to Trekearth.

Amicalement!
Bulent

pboehringer (770) 2007-06-29 10:21

A very nice, calm, introspective image to celebrate your 200th post. Quite interesting the play of reflections of nature (palm trees in sun) contrasting with the little details on the surface of the water.
Keep going with your fine work!

TopGeo (38220) 2007-06-29 10:59

Hi Laurent,Congratulations on your 200th post

Hi Laurent,
200th post!Really big number for the quality of your work!
My compliments and wishes for much more than other 200th post.
Your composition in colour like black and white is a very nice choice for
your anniversary,a little different from your usual work,especially with the reflected sun on the water.I like it very much!

Wishes,
Thomas

Hi Laurent,
This is a beautiful monochromatic reflection, a nice relaxing scene with a well balanced composition. Nicely done.

Re bonsoir Laurent,

Mes féliciations par ta 200ième publication. Belle composition centrée sur ce joli et agréable reflet. J'aime beaucoup le calme qui émane de l'endroit. Une belle réalisation, bien vu Laurent et... à la 400ième.

Avec mes amitiés et à bientôt,

Jean-Charles

banyanman (7797) 2007-06-30 14:30

A fine composition for your 200th post, Laurent. You have composed/cropped it well to concentrate the eye on the reflections and I think the mood is enhanced by the almost monochromatic colour rather than converting it to B&W. Cheers . . . David

papagolf21 (152605) 2007-07-01 0:39

Cher Laurent,
Félicitations pour cette 200ème publication. La beauté étrange reflétée dans ce fleuve est parfaitement mise en valeur.
Heureusement que Marilyn était présente, pour te prêter sa caméra, il aurait été dommage de ne pas saisir cet instant merveilleux.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Splendide, ta 200è photo, félicitations ! Magnifique point de vue et presque un N&B, les réflexions dans l'eau sont magiques, j'adore !
Bravo,
Cath.

Hi Laurent, congratulations for your splendid 200th post on TE, fashinating composition with lovely reflections, great light, very well done, greetings from Italy, ciao Silvio

salvator (19110) 2007-07-02 1:33

Bonjour Laurent,
Very nice composition and superb b&w. The sharpness, the reflections and sense of depth are superb.
I wish you a great week. Best regards.
Salvator.

Angshu (56760) 2007-07-03 4:09

Hello Laurent
What a lovely image to celebrate your 200th...that too with a borrowed camera (thanks to Marilyn)! I like the atmosphere with good framing of the sun & the tilted coconut palms. The water bugs add a lot to the picture. Look forward for the next double century

lcarolan (930) 2007-07-04 3:33

Hi Laurent,
Congratulations on your 200th post. The details of the palm fronds frame the sun in your reflection, making it look like a moon shot. How clever of you to focus on the reflection. I like the way you left that edge of palm thicket in its unreflected form. Larry

P-S-I-G (25536) 2007-07-06 23:22

Salut Laurent,
Comme quoi, il faut toujours avec son appareil photo avec soi.
Très belle atmosphère exotique avec ces palmiers qui se reflètent dans l'eau. Une composition originale et très réussie.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

luiscar (3286) 2007-07-24 4:38

Hello Laurent.
surprising image, it has been difficult to me to observe her a little bit to decipher where it was the shot if to the sky or to the water, then I have seen that were reflexes.
good POV and vertical format with a lot of depth.
good work
a greeting

scobert (5355) 2007-07-26 20:55

Hello Laurent,
Normally the dull and flat lighting of this dreary weather would be an excercise in futlilty, unless you were doing closeups of flowers with some fill-flash. Your fantastic composition and the reflections of the storm clouds and the sun peeking between them worked wonders here. Very unusual and powerful compostion. Marvelous!
Stan
