This is the main feeder creek of the "Leopoldsteinersee" called "Seeaubach". I wanted to get the shot with the creek centered and so I had to get into that water. It was about 2ft deep and freezing cold. I had to setup the basic setting outside the water and then quickly walk in and take the shot. After more than one minute my feet were getting numb and I had to get back out. The peak in the back is the "Pfaffenstein". A mere 1850mas but from the point here it elevated 1200m which is quite impressive. This is a blend of 3 images from one RAW file.

Spectacular shot Andreas. Getting into freezing cold water to get the image you are looking for is what separates the dedicated photographer the guy who takes snapshots.
