What a lovely photo for your efforts. ;)

But perhaps a little too much saturation and contrast?
Beautiful composition nonetheless, I love photos like this.

I like very much the colors, beautiful image!

It's awesome.... Thanks for sharing.

Really nice shot. I like the eerie, misty effect in the water. I am a fan of HDR and find that shoot forests and trees is a bit tricky. Great shot, and well worth the trouble you went to take the image.

Where did you take this shot? I thought it looked familiar... Thanks for submitting.

Cool....i voted for this one:)

its good

I like how you gave us the exact GPS co-ordinates . Nice Shot.

Ja! Das ist gut! And we've exhausted my German.

I think you overprocessed it! Colours are too vivid and strong..the look unreal!

I think I can see what Lerch is talking about. Taking a closer look I can see both the over-processing and even some blur in the upper-right corner - granted as minor as it is and considering your precarious position, I think the blur is no big deal. All in all, while this looks great on my 13-inch MacBook, I don't think it'd work as well on my 20-inch desktop.

Fantastic shot, it looks great on my 22".

Wow. This is a really nice one. I couldn't help myself and I instantly saved it!!

Regarding the blur: I'm suspecting that there was a little bit of wind.

haha nice..u had your tripod almost submerged in water or what? thats awesome.. it was worth it,thats a excellent shot

Idyllic.

if it wasn't for the artificial water haze i guess this would be a favourite of mine.

Hey Guys,
I know that the quality isn't the best - not an easy shot cuz of merging the shots to an hdr - it was a little bit windy.

@lunasicc Yes :D Me and the Tripod were standing into the water.

The photo here looks a little bit oversharpened - perhaps this version is better: http://emats.deviantart.com/art/Resistance-Wallpaper-134207021

Greetings, Sven :)

the linked photo was very good nice work emats

drool material

@s1ipp3ry

Do it better.

what a nice shot !

good job ;)

Despite looking a bit unrealistic, I liked. Good work, emats.

@ emats: I believe s1pp3ry was complimenting your photo.

drool material = worthy of drooling over.

Ah I'm sorry :( Have to translate all these words from english to german ;)

Ein wunderschönes Bild (: Sehr gut eingefangen ;)

It was a compliment emats further more one of the best wallpapers on this site I believe, it made me drool when I first looked at it.. thanks for submitting it.

We understand that English is not your first language.
It's not mine, either, but I think it would be more appropriate to name the picture "Persistence."

Anyways, it's a really good effort. Thumbs up.

GREAT. really! I preffered a normal water, but still GREAT!

@TheKid

Wow! Thanks for the title suggestion - he's more matching to the pic - I will change the title on deviantart. thanks :)

It's not all about the camera you used, and the lenses, and (LOL) the longitude and latitude....Just the shot itself is about 90% of what makes a picture great but this is just some boring swamp, I see these all the time.

Superb!!!

It's wonderful.Thanks for the wallpaper

This is hardly some boring swamp.These kind of comments should not be allowed in a professional atmosphere.

Cheers emats, that's a really nice shot. You've got pride of place on my desktop at the moment.

It's very difficult for me to pick an absolute "favorite" image, especially from a collection like Interfacelift has to offer, but I have to say that this particular photo is undoubtedly my very favorite. Being an artist (musician), I'm prone to mood swings, and am a bit anal about setting the proper image for the proper season (or even the mood I'm in at the time); however, this particular image seems to have found a home on my desktop (on my 27" iMac as well as my Macbook Air AND my iPod Touch almost year-round. There's something about the solitude, the tranquility, the absolute stillness of the moment that you successfully captured in this image that immediately brings a sigh of contentment to me when I look at this photo. Thank you for sharing it; it's a masterpiece.
