Yes.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 06:31, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment I like the shape of the peninsula etc., but IHMO the photo is a bit dark. I have tried to create a slightly improved version (which can be improved further if there are concrete suggestions). @Kiril Simeonovski: What do you think? --Aristeas (talk) 09:11, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

@Aristeas: I like that version too. I'll nominate it as an alternative to see what people think.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 09:14, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Alternative

•  Comment This one is an alternative version with brighter colours edited by Aristeas.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 09:17, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Much better, but what about the colors? It seems to me like it has a bit of a magenta tint? El Grafo (talk) 09:39, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Good hint. I noticed it, too, but did not correct it because I assumed (maybe by mistake) that this could be the real colour of the ground at the shores. In the Category:Debar Lake, some photos show a yellowish colour, some a reddish colour of the shores. @Kiril Simeonovski: Can you clarify which is the real colour of the shore: is it really that reddish, or is it more like in this photo, or …? When I know this I can further improve the photo. Thank you, --Aristeas (talk) 10:49, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Some parts of the shore are yellowish, while some are reddish due to the red tide in the shallow waters. Please see this image for further details. You can notice that the shore to the left is reddish and the red tide is even visible, but the shore in the background is more yellowish. I'd see that the natural colour of the shore on this image is a bit more reddish.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 12:08, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. I am sorry to say so but I have big problems to find a satisfying correction of the colour balance for the photo. It certainly has more colour shift than a simple magenta tint. When I try to correct the colour so that the shore get’s right, the lake gets unbelievable colours. I assume that in reality this must be a great photo with astonishing colours, but I am not able to find out which. Maybe somebody else with more skills (El Grafo?) can help here. Sorry, --Aristeas (talk) 14:31, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

 Support But maybe it is just good as it is. At least the comparison with the other photos show that the reddish tint is not unrealistic … --Aristeas (talk) 20:59, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

• I don't understand the glassy, rippled surface of the water that's only where it is not in shadow. Please explain. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:14, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

  That's because the lake isn't wave-free on that part of the image. It has really nothing to do with the cloud reflection. However, it's a very good example of how clouds reflect on a surface of a larger body of water. In order to see a full reflection, it's necessary to have a crystal clear water surface, but that's impossible in practice (unless it's a very small pond).--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 09:45, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
