[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken last year, on the very first day of January, welcoming a brand new year - as so many times before. Our heads were rather on the "heavy side" from a little too much champagne the night before, greeting the new year. But "girl's don't cry" and so I stepped outside blinded by the sun, moving my sunglasses into my face and up we went for hours, taking the sled with us for a fast ride down, as a special treat.

Some fog patches moved in later in the afternoon, they came and went, leaving us in the white or giving free sight to magnificant scenery.

Hope you like the "not much" here.

Hi Barbara,

Beautiful scenery. The light and soft colors here are very special. I like the ideia o big space and solitide in it, the warm cabin waiting for the tired visitor to arrive to warm it up. Feelings so particular to this season...

Best Regards,

Flavia

Bonsoir Barbara,
j'apprécie ici le cadrage que tu as choisi. Le prmeier plan est très bien gérée : la couleur blanche ressort bien et met bien en valeur le fond de la photo. C'est un paysage superbe et ta photo le met superbement en valeur. Bravo
Xavier

Hi Barbara,
Beautiful fresh winter snow with the trees framing this photo against a lovely winter's sky with a bit of gray and bit of blue.

P.S. Hope you feel well soon.

Allô Barbara!
Magnifique paysage de campagne qui ressemble étrangement à chez-nous. La composition est excellente avec la maison et les arbres. Les blancs sont bien rendus sous un ciel un peu gris.

Hello again, Barbara. I find this one to be very striking and full of light and colour. The sky is magnificent against the whiteness of the snow and silhouetted trees. I like very much the little splashes of colour given by the poles, and the way the snow just below the horizon is in shade. Very good and pleasing shot!
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Barbara, I see that this picture was taken Jan 2006. Does that mean that you still didn't have the well deserved snow? I see here a line of denuded trees, a line of orange snow poles, a single house and the wonderful clouds in the background giving an excellent contrast to the clean snow in the foreground. Nice, silent composition.
Regards, Peter

Hello Barabara,
Lovely winter composition.
Excellent framing and good lighting.
Greetings.
Igor

Dear Barbara,
You do have a very special way with snow as well as mountains. The snow blown smooth by wind is lovely in the sunlight. Good contrast with the near-silhouettes of the trees and the fog bank hugging the ground. HLJ, Pat

Hello Barbara
What makes this scene is the fog, which rolls in from the right like a brewing storm. The snow in the FG is like a sea of white, with the textures quite brilliantly caught. The red pole amidst all the white & the barren trees like ghostly sentinels are fine additions to the picture. Well framed & well captured winter post.
With Regards
Angshu

Hi Barbara!
i like a lot the tones here and your minimalist composition with thel ittle house on the snow!
the sky has a great effect with the gray colours!
i like a lot also the particular light!
ciao!
Valeria

Hi Barbara, baeutiful colors here, i particularly like here your sky and clouds, colors are very particular due to this blue-grey-white. Allthat above a nice snowy place, simple landcape but effective one
Good :)

I'm wery often in Flims-Laax but this year realy not much snow...fortunatly i do'nt hawe by the season tiket too ski. I angioy to see your 2006 beutyful shot to remember whot snow is!
Hallo Luca

Hello Barbara -

This is a very nice winter landscape. Before reading your notes I thought the fog was and in coming storm. Exposure looks to be spot on. Well done!

Thank you for sharing

John

Hello Barbara
I've just discovered you and I would like to say that this is a great photograph. The 3 red posts are particularly interesting.
Greetings from Greece

I do like the "not much", Barbara. You made the snow come out actually a natural white, not always an easy thing to do. The trees are nicely placed and they accent the sky. Perhaps you could crop off two thirds or so of the snow, for an alternative use of the scene (to supplement, not to replace this one.) Regards, Ken.

Hi Barbara,

Nice shot, excellent lighting and detail. tfs

Now this is a fun image, Barbara. The white snow and darker skies work well together, anchored by thos nice trees and house. Well done!

hello, barbara. no, no, no, i don't want this... just a few more warm days. please... just kidding around. actually, i find your winter landscape to be very soothing. i like the contrast of the cloudy sky agianst the bright white of the snow. the red poles provide intersting accents to your shot. my compliments.

kristaps

p.s. on a nitpicky note, this is the sort of a composition that asks for something subtle but a bit more pronounced somewhere in the foreground to give more 3D feeling to the picture.

Hallo Barbara,
Lovely winter scenery on a new year's day. Judging from the poles, I guess this area receives a lot more snow. Very nice composition with the trees. I also like the detail on the whites. Regards,
Hakan

hi Barbara,
while I'm waiting for a new post from you, I decided to browse through your older photos. your trademark winter scene, you know I like a lot your minimalistic style. just few trees, a house, orange poles - et voila, you have a moody winter photo :) sometimes I wish winter was right now so I could try your approach. but I bet when the winter really starts I'll be complaining about the cold and demanding sunshine and +25C :)

take care,
Kristine
