Tania Aresti in the lake (Patreon)

I had just finished an overview shot of this lake from a viewpoint much hight up with Eowyn and Tania and noticed this small peninsula in the lake below. 

The trick with a peninsula is it allows you a different viewpoint from what you usually have: You can shoot towards the shore as opposed when you are on the short and have to shoot away from the shore, generally with a horizon line cutting the image in half.

We found the place on the map, drove down, and found the nearest place to park.

Walking out, I noticed that when using a low vantage point, I could get a very dark reflection in the water as was is a large fell (hill) on the shore covered in trees.

That, coupled with a model, Tania,  mostly being backlit, I thought would make for a graphic simple composition.
