This is an absolute pleasure for the eyes. It conveys both hot and cold impressions at the same time. The point of view is perfect and the textures and colours very well rendered. Great shot.

Cormac (26449) 2006-01-19 10:28

This is a really wonderful shot - the sun is so pale and delicate, which is unusual. I like the colour in the sky too, which the transition from one colour to another being very smooth. The snow on the branches provides a nice contrast - blue/white with yellow/orange. Well done!

witaj,
Wspania³y kadr. My¶lê, ze bardzo mocno przypomina malarstwo impresjonistyczne pomimo bardziej stonowanych barw. ¦wietny kadr i kolorystyka rozja¶niona nieco szadzi± i sniegiem osadzonym na ga³azkach drzewka i na trawach. Dobre bardzo foto.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
Jurek

Hello Mat,
That's a very original subject. I like this "mystery" touch.
Great colors and composition, very well done !

Ber (7576) 2006-01-19 16:01

Zwykly ale jak kazdy niezwykly zachod, ja ostatnio ich nie doswiadczam, wiec chetnie podziwiam takie fotografie. Podoba mi sie taka spokojna tonacja.

BlaiseCendrars (0) 2006-01-20 6:30

Witaj Mat,
you have a lovely colour gradient from bottom to top, from grey to purple, which makes the photo extremely pleasant to look at. The features of the purple glowing sun and the crystallized trees doesn't make matters worse :)

Excellent work, thanks!!

Pozdrawiam,
Chris

cessy (13647) 2006-01-20 9:26

wow, so beautiful
very nice moment captured
love the atmosphere
very well done, Mat

john_c (24635) 2006-01-20 10:40

Hi Mat,
You really nailed this one! The exposure level seems just right for this mysterious shot full of cool ambience. I like the foreground of bushes caked with frost and snow. The sun and the tones and hues in the upper sky really provide high impact. This is great work, Mat. Well done!
John

magost (565) 2006-01-21 5:46

The snow on the branches is amazing and I like the composition!! The sun and the colours of the upper part of the sky have something magic!!
Thanks for sharing!

MarekP (4744) 2006-01-21 7:35

Hi Mat,
This is a very winter shot -- just a wolf's howl is missing. Colours are perfect to support the overall atmosphere, "stroked" sun is a nice detail. Well done!

Thanks,
Marek

jemaflor (39259) 2006-01-21 16:39

Hi Mat,
Warm colours for a cold view, very lovely and well composed and captured, Bravo and TFS.

bibiweb (8) 2006-01-22 3:37

Hi Mat,
This is just splendid! The gradient in the sky, the frost on the trees and the way you've composed with the branch in front of the orange sun... it's simply beautiful!
Have a nice Sunday.
Brigitte

PixelTerror (86058) 2006-01-22 14:34

Hi Mat,
Wow it's just superb, I love here the combination of the cold we obviously feel with the warm brought by the sun globe and radiating to the upper part of the photo, excellent !
have a nice week end,
Jean-Yves

Hi Mat,
Amazing composition - the color of the sun is fantastic and the trees look unbelievable.
I the snow looks bluwish - which is probably the real color, however I decided to go for a workshop and see what comes out...
