Cold Golden light
It was very cold this day down by the river of my valley. The tempearture was -20C and the sun was ready to set a little after 3pm. Typical short winter day in the far north.
The smoke of frost was rising from the open river while the last sunlight added a golden glow to the setting.

Impressive! It looks exactly as cold as you say it is! I love the colours of the sun which you can see in the "smoke"/fog above the water. The effect the sunlight has on the tree on the right, is really beautiful as well. Great POV!!

Hi Jack,

very impressive shot! The effect provided by the low fog is an eye catcher. Very beautiful work!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Jack,

wonderful lighting and color temperature! This photo looks brilliant because of the smoke and the presence of snow. Your POV and the use of polarizer also seem to have done the right job :) Great winter shot!

Regards,
Anton

Hello Jack,
you managed to capture an incredibly beautiful light which really makes the difference here. I really like the soft mood you've delivered, with soft and warm colours well contrasted by the cold feeling.
Excellent quality!
Thanks for sharing and regards

The smoky effect due to the evaporation in fading side lght has given a 3D effect.

A well executed shot and good use of the ND filter to balance the exposure.

Hello Jack,

Splendide ! Les teintes dorées du coucher de soleil sont bien retransmise par la brume à la surface de ce lac ! La lumière est presque brillante sur la neige !
J'apprècie tout particulièrement le coté droit de l'image qui est magnifique avec ces branches de sapins délicatement léchées par cette douce lumière !
Bravo !

Salam,
Very beautiful n atmospheric ..the golden light has granted a bit warmth to its overall cold atmosphere..the texture of water is great .tfs

The color and the mist make it "magic" , something like Avalon in winter, and the golden light is so inviting. Beautiful shot with a charming atmosphere.

HI Jack
Another magical photo, gorgeous light and lovely golden tints. The sunlight and mist create a wonderful effect. The light on the snow in the foreground adds a nice frame and the movement of the water complements well the static trees. A wonderful image!
Regards, Susanna

salut jack
une lumiére géniale et les fumées de froid qui s'élévent donnent une ambiance magnifique au milieu d'une nature sauvage sous des couleurs d'hiver, génial

Hello Jack

I like the warm vs cold colour contrast, between the gold & blue. Nice textured lighting on the snow with good sharpness. I like the swirling mist. Tfs!

Hei Jack,

Lovely winter scene. I really like how you've captured the cold mist from the water. Really nice image, it makes me kind of homesick.

TFS.

woww.. it looks very cold and warm at the same time
I never shoot at minus 20 myself hehehe..
very nice picture, Jack
Hace a nice sunday

Hello Jack,

I don't know how I missed this gem, one of the most beautiful photographs I've seen in your gallery or at TE. The note brings reality to the situation, -20°C (or -4° Fahrenheit, which does not sound as bad). The low angle of the setting sun creates a fantastic glow in the mist rising from the water.

Warm (and I mean warm) regards,
Bulent

A Gold Golden photo!!
A dreamy atmospheric photo Jack.
Amazing light makes everything to look like if Hlios (The Greek God) tries to give all his gifts to this landscape making it with his gold rays a place for Gods or for very lucky people.
I wish I were there.
Best regards
Kostas

Hello Jack,
I like the title you choose for this beautiful view.
It seems the wind is blowing a layer of gold to enhance it.
Impressive!
Regards,
Marianne
