Just beautiful - I would love to wake up to this kind of scenery and it doesn´t have to from a nightmare, as beauty can be found even in dark hours ;)
/Jörg

Michael Jakesz Thanks, Jörg!
Actually during this hike we saw some guys camping on the besseggen ridge (about half an hour walk from this point). They must have had the greatest view .
All the best

What is the little vee that looks like a wake above and to the left of the boat? This is magical, mystical and very well done. Seems unreal, somehow.
K.

Michael Jakesz Thank you King!
Regarding the vee, I believe it must be a rock or maybe a very small boat. This lake probably has a low current that generates the small v-shaped wave. But I can only guess as well.
I also thought that this view had a mystical dreamlike quality and tried to express that in my title/comment as well.
Thanks again
Michael

That's it - I'm going to this Park tomorrow!!! ;)
Very beautiful capture, Michael.. I can feel the spirit of Norway in it :)

Michael Jakesz Thanks Daria, as usual you're too kind!
I don't know about the spirit of norway, as I was merely a visitor, but there definitely was something in the air, hiking through these natural wonders that I'll definitely visit again :)

This is top notch!
The boat is just great, giving dynamics and scale to this beautiful scenary!
/Thomas

Michael Jakesz Thank you Thomas!
I know I said it already and will probably say it again, but Norway's National Parks are among the most beautiful places I have ever seen.
all the best
Michael

Thomas Ljungberg I'm a little curious about your choice of category. Why not in Landscape? This image does not look "edited" at all above normal postprocessing work. Precautious?
And yes, the fjords of Norway are exceptional, there is nothing like it!
/Thomas

Michael Jakesz Yes, precaution!
I didn't want this one to be rejected solely due to (maybe) being in the wrong category. Editing included just a little different crop, a little of selective sharpening, resizing and a slight change in tonality.
Of course I would have preferred it in "landscape", but I felt I was on the safe side with "creative edit".
Michael

Thomas Ljungberg Then I would send a OEmail to Jacob or Ralf and explain the editing and ask them to change category. What you describe is just ordinary, basic processing and they will most certainly move it.
/Thomas

Michael Jakesz Done, many thanks to the team fairy for changing this so quickly ;))
