This person was fortunate enough to spend their Easter Sunday afternoon sailing. I had to be content with a picnic on the shore in the sunshine, snapping my camera. There are worse ways to spend the day :) Lake Aviemore, South Island, New Zealand. This lake is 29 square kilometres and a favorite place for boaters, water skiers and for fishing. It is above the Aviemore Dam which is part of the Waitaki Hydroelecticity scheme.

There is much that I love about this one LynEve!!!!!
Picking out the sky colors and all colors is an obvious reason...but I am especially enthralled with the NATURAL looking environment as opposed to a manicured landscape! Truly a magnificent and beautiful photo!

{ hard to pull away...so came back to say: wow...this really is a perfect shot...dreamy and ideal for an artists easel..}

A beautiful & peaceful image. I love the blues of the sky & water along with the natural surroundings. A perfectly composed image. This is going into my favorites.

The warm colors of the grass and of the foliage and mountains in the background contrast well with the cool blues. The mountains and trees, even the boats, look smudgy like they have been Photoshopped to appear like an Impressionism painting. I examined the image's properties, must be the wide f-stop (4.5) which rendered the foreground sharp and the background blurry. I don't have much experiences with Kodak cameras but this effect seemed to have worked well in this particular shot.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I say what I say because that is my honest opinion. I don't kiss ass because I find that gross and repulsive.

Yes very nice, it must have been a pleasure to have a picnic here.
The slope of the hill seems so bare almost no greenery, that is a little amasing to me, seeing this image is not shot above 2000 meter.
