Lake Bled Kayaker, a photo from Gorenjska, West

Photographer's Note

I have a hard time paddling one of these kayaks just sitting down, so I was impressed to see this man standing and paddling without falling in the water. In the background is the Assumption of Mary Church, actually located on an island, but that's not discernible here.

Hello Chris,
Is this sport also called kayaking in English or paddleboarding ? Or has it another name?
I've also seen it at sea in Spain.
Here you had of course the beautiful scenery of Bled Lake and the church.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Chris,
A strong foreground and a beautiful background. You were really lucky (and observant) to be able to combine these two superb features in a very eye-catching composition. Very good light and colours too.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Chris,
Lovely view of the lake and forest in autumn colours. The church and the paddler are of course superb subjects. I wonder if the water was cold in the early November.

Hello Chris, Nice view of the famous island on the Bled Lake, here with this kayaker. Indeed, it is amazing that he can have a balance. I would be in water immediately. Lovely autumn colours.

Best regards MAlgo

Hi Chris,
Very original presentation from this famous spot. The man adds some action and life in the foreground. Nice to see the place in the autumnal colors, so rich and also the subtle fog over hills in the distance enhances the autumnal mood.
Beautiful work,
M

Hello Chris,
There's a lot to like in this photo. The autumn colors surrounding the church are beautiful, and I like the hills in the distance, and, of course, your capture of this man with great balance paddling on the lake. :-) Wishing you a happy new year!
