Pretty kool shot and manip. I love the colors and the inclusion of the duck. Good eye for composition.

Interesting and looks like a fairy tale. Where is Ivan and Vasilisa the beautifull ?

Thanks for comments! This photo was taken during my travel on Solovetsky Islands in 1998 (North of Russia). It was really fairy tale. Others fotos from this trip http://www.progressor.ru:8083/outdoor/web-peter/Solovki/solovki.htm

Похоже на старую фотографию или картину.

I can hear Tchaikovsky`s music while watching that dreamy image, Petr.

Предков жалко - они мучались над созданием картин годами, а тут раз - и уже шедевр.
Очень красиво!

сложная история у этого места... даже сейчас нечто зловещее в воздухе висит. с одной стороны эта утка раздражает, кажется, что она совсем ни к месту. но с другой она вроде даже символична - унялись все-таки страсти на Соловках. а отражение в воде, знаете, Китеж напоминает...

it`s a place with a complicated history... even now something ominous seems to hang in the air. on the one hand, this duck is almost an annoyance, it looks out of place. but on the other hand, it may even be symbolic - the horrors that took place there are now history. and, you know, the reflection in the water is reminiscent of Kitezh (an essential Russian legend)

Very nice. How about with a lower camera position?
