Yet another photograph that inspires me. This one inspires me to get my lazy butt out of bed before dawn. I like the colors, saturation, and sharpness of this. The composition is such that it isolates the village and its lay in the landscape. Very well done.

Great shot. Brings back memories. I was stationed at Flint Kaserne in Bad Tolz in the early 80's. Rode my bike around that lake. Beautiful country. Bayern ist besser!

Try this, Dirk...

Open the photo and close your eyes, try to think in anything but the photo for a few seconds, then open your eyes and look at the photo, you will look at the rapids first and, then, your eyes go directly to the sky triangle, out of the photo. Now, cover the upper part of the image, untill the triangle disapears. Close your eyes again, repeat the process. This time, your eyes goes directly to the rapids, as well, but then, they run all over the rockas and, then to the rest of the image.

OK, maybe that's true but honestly I cannot see the problem at all. What you are saying seems to be about the order of things to look at and starting at the top left-ish cannot be bad. But even if it was the bottom right I would not really mind as an experienced viewer would look at the whole picture eventually. The order may be important but effectively saying "good photos do not contain small areas of plain white" seems a little silly to me as you would end up trying to avoid the sky in all sorts of situations and just constrain yourself without a real reason. But it is all subjective, so perhaps it works for some and not for others, that's ok... thanks.

I rest my case...
