I really like the mood in this picture. The photographer has used a long exposure of 20 seconds, which gives enough time to create the misty effect on the water. The low angle shot makes the front rocks seem dominant, with the rocks in the background providing a ‘trail’ into the sea. The cloudy sky adds to the mood of serenity in the picture, and keeping the image in black and white makes the image feel much more moody.
Unfortunately it was a bit of a dull day so the colours aren’t very vibrant, but i managed to get the reflection in the water that i wanted. I tried this photo from a couple of angles and this one had the best composition, from this angle the banks connect well and provide a good natural frame for the lake.
This one is also a good example of how reflections in the water can really make the photo. The deep contrast between the building and the ground shows up really well in the water, This photographer also uses a low angle shot, this time to capture the reflection on the curved building in the puddle.
