Mirror lakes, a photo from Fiordland, South Island

Photographer's Note

Back in New Zealand.
One of the highlights of the Milford Road, the Mirror Lakes are world famous for their beauty and the way they reflect their surrounding scenery. You’ll find the Mirror Lakes within the Eglinton Valley.

Stunningly scenic, on a calm day they provide breathtaking reflections of the Earl mountain ranges opposite. Thousands of tourists visit the Mirror Lakes every year in search of the perfect photo op. However, they’re also a habitat for many animals, including some of our rarest birds.

New Zealand’s smallest duck, the scaup or pāpango, live in the Mirror Lakes and other Eglinton Valley waterways, as do the grey duck or pārera. Under the water you’ll find long-finned native eels, as well as brown and rainbow trout which were introduced in the 1800s.

The Mirror Lakes were created when the Eglinton River shifted its course long ago, leaving these two river bends behind to form what is known as ‘oxbow’ lakes. Together with the Eglinton River they form part of the largest system of inland waterways in New Zealand, stretching (almost unbroken) from Martins Bay/Kotuku in the north to Te Wawae Bay on the south coast.

Again the set of the three pictures, I could not decide what to choose.

When you look at bigger beta picture, you just scroll the screen and see three photos in the price of one :).

Hello Malgo,
Three fine photos. Two beautiful sceneries and one attractive close look at the clear water and reflections. The scenery is magnificent, and this time it doesn't remind me of Norway. ;-)
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Malgo,

Good sharpness and reflections in all 3 images with amazing clarity of the water allowing us to see fallen trees and logs submerged on the sea bottom in the central image. Tfs!

Bonjour, chère Malgo,
Ce n'est pourtant pas la période des soldes à voir ces trois prises de vue pour le prix d'une !
Comment ne pas rêver aux grands espaces, aux lacs reflétant la beauté du ciel.
Une merveille offerte à travers cette réunion.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Ciao cara Malgo, great collage with fantastic place, beautiful reflections in the first, wonderful natural colors, excellent clarity and splendid light, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Hello Malgorzata, This trio of views really gives us a taste of the place, probably more than a single wider view would have achieved. The muted light shows up the greens and greys very well.
Thank you for your welcome note. I have a lot of catching up to do.
Best wishes..........Maggie

Hi Malgorzata
Ciel dramatique, brumeux, offrant malgré tout de superbe reflets, intéressant assemblages
Belle soirée

Hello, Malgo!

Very nice collage of these beautiful landscapes from New Zealand, I especially like the image of the middle with a beautiful reflection and little plants by the lake side captured with excellent colors and sharpness! Wonderful job!

Widzę że specjalizujesz się w kolazach. Bez klikania na warsztatowe zdjęcia można zobaczyć więcej . Swoją drogą szkoda że nie ma statystyki ze główne zdjęcie obejrzano np 100 razy a to z warsztatu np 20. Wracając do twojej prezentacji: kraj różnorodnych krajobrzoe górskich które pięknie pokazujesz! Pozdrawiam
Piotr

Dear Malgo,

It looks beautiful. I guess it was even better in life!

Best Wishes,

Hi Malgo,

The collage of the three photos are showing beautiful sceneries. I like the reflections on the water. The point pf view is showing the details of the reflections and of the mountains. Have a nice day.

Hello Malgo,
An original and attractive presentation with these 3 complementary photographs. Placed above each other, they give a nice complete overview of this beautiful natural landscape.
Excellent work
Have a nice day. Groet Rob

Ciao Malgo
in effetti non era facile decidere quale foto era migliore delle altre, hai fatto bene ad unirle in una unica soluzione.
Saluti
