I like - why ?
The large lump of stone in the L foreground and the small pieces from it leading me down towards the lake. Then I'm hit with the large hill beside the lake and the end of the lake leads me into the further away mountains , which are high enough still to have some snow on them.
The colour gradation is lovely .
Could it be improved - maybe a wee slice off the top ? Perhaps we could have had the whole of the lake by taking less of the L hand side - mind you I don't know the size of the lake so possibly this is not possible.
The whole thing just pleases me - it's calm and relaxing

techno-terminator: I am glad that you liked the image from Valdres, and it is interesting for me to read your interpretation of it!

I googled "Valdresflya", and it seems that this area/lake has been shot quite a lot. This image shows the lake in a more classic composition, almost in the national romantic idiom (from my point of view). In my shot, I was more concerned with the composition of the mountains and rocks, and I was confined with staying close to the road and car.Perhaps we could have had the whole of the lake by taking less of the L hand side - mind you I don't know the size of the lake so possibly this is not possible

That was interesting seeing it from a different angle
The Wikimedia one is darker , a more brooding sort of thing but it shows clearly that the lake is much larger so you could not have got it all in.
I still wonder about taking a wee slice [ not a lot ] off the sky
[ crumbs - this makes it look as if I know what I'm talking about ]

That wee crop makes a world of difference - in my mind anyway
But then what do I know ?
