Winter Gladness - HAPPY NEW YEAR! Photo

Photographer’s Note

Dear TE friends,

Wonderful and Happy New Year to You and your family!

I was in countryside with my family in the past few days and I found this mood this fascinating winter mood. I hope you like it.

The thermal lake of Sóstófürdő has been a tourist attraction for centuries. The lake is very warm, around 26ºC, and is surrounded by a park of 2000 m2. There is also a large zoo with animals from all continents of the world.

Hi George,
I like the way the shot is divided into two sections with the grass and tree on the one side and the ice on the other. Great movement of the skaters that you have captured too.
A very happy New Year to you!

Wanda

Belle exploitation de lumières difficiles.

Hi George,
What a stunning "skating on the winter pond" shot. I really like your idea of presenting the skaters as a backdrop with the trees and grasses creating a very nice foreground and introduction to the scene. Very well done and all the best in 2008. Great work and TFS. Gerald
