Hello Steve,

Superb clarity.
The light is creative in defining the bumps and hollows and tracks in snow.
The soft, blue tinge suggests how cold the temperature is.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Beautiful shot! The thick covering of fresh snow makes this look like a fairy tale land. The lightness of the landscape is quite different than the usual dark green and brown that it has without snow. That red barn provides a perfect subject too, because the bright colour stands out against the blue/white of the snow. Well done!

Hello Steve!
Very pleasant and beautiful photograph!
Extremely well chosen low viewpoint to create this four layer composition: sky, mountains, buildings and fresh snow in the fg! Brightness was excellently managed, with a very good balance of light and shadow! The contrast between white parts and colorful ones was very well done!
Anyway, this picture really pleases me!
TFS - Congratulations!
Warmest regards,
Neyvan

Hi Steve,
What a gorgeous rural winter scene - gotta love that deep layer of snow, and I really like the deep rich colors you achieved here. Great shot and TFS. Gerald

Hi steve
I just quickly browsed a small part of your gallery and I stopped on this one. A beautiful postcard obviously, but to me much more than that. It simply reminds me of the old times (1972-74) when I was living in your country (Ottawa) and I bet that a large part of my heart is still there. Temperatures around -20°c, snow, beautiful blue sky, red barns ... and out we go!
makes me younger suddenly, thanks !
patrick
