Winter arrives ! Photo

Photographer’s Note

Every year it's the same ... but first snow always again is something very special ...

The day before yesterday first snow of this winter covered the landscape here in southern Westphalia.
My photo was taken during a small hike some minutes away from my house in the afternoon. Between the snow showers sun came out for some seconds ...

Guten Morgen Frank,

tolles Winterfoto mit einer schönen Tiefe und Ausstrahlung; bei uns ist heute Morgen schon fast alles wieder weg, die Bewrge sind halt einfach zu niedrig. ;)))

liebe Grüße aus der Pfalz, Bernd

Hi Frank
It's hard for me to think about winter when we are just coming into our summer, I am sitting with the air conditioner on in temp of 30 degrees.
Great composition and POV, love the way you have naturally framed the trees in the centre with the snow covered branches in the foreground.
TFS
Cheers
Jude

Hi Frank,
Must have been a magic moment! The sun comes through and shines on the green trees. Everything covered in snow and blue, blue hills in the background. Really beautiful!
Regards from a cold but snowfree Gothenburg

Good morning Frank
A really impressive composition with the first snow of the year. I like the all white frame that allows that beautiful central green give a special color touch to the compositio.
Have a great week and TFS

Hi Frank,

Hallo Frank,
It's very beautiful and looks unusual in a vertical frame. Eye-catching sunny spot surrounded by icy frame is very inventive as a composition.

Two days ago we also had a snowfall and last night temperatures fell as low as -10C in the city...

Greetings,
Anton

Hello Frank,
A little unnatural is the winter in November, but on the photo presents superbly. Branches of oak not yet had time riddances all of leaves, and only spruces are proud of their own green. Very nice, vertical picture, excellent colouring and in splendid light. Even the sky was for you kind on that day and beautifully appeared with the steel-ly navy blue colour.
Best regards from very cool Poznan,
Jurek

Sometimes the best photos are shot by chance during a usual walk. I find this one not only a lucky shot but surely the superb product of a good eye and an expert hand. It's one of those photo one is never tired to look at.
Thanks for sharing,
Donato

hello Frank
yes,the first snow is always fascinating!In the place where I live,there is no snow every year,it's why I appreciate the pictures where i can see it!I like the way you have framed the green forest,with the white branches,it's very beautiful!And I like the dark blue sky we can see through the branches,that gives a nice cold mood!Very well done!
Regards
Pascale

Bonjour, mon ami Frank,
L'hiver arrive brusquement, comme la neige. Un matin au réveil, on s'aperçoit que tout est blanc.
J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance qui se dégage de cette composition.
Le vert se mélange subtilement avec le blanc immaculé de la neige, du ciel bleu.
Ici, c'est la pluie (de la neige fondue) en continu ! Hélas !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Ciao Frank,
nice composition for a beautiful picture.
I like the light over the green trees, while around all is white...

Greetings from a rainy Rome (only in these days...).

Hallo Frank,
sehr schöne Winterlandschaft und brandaktuell.
Auch wir haben schon eine Menge Schnee und das Schippen habe ich für diese Woche hoffentlich hinter mir. Schön wie du die grünen Bäume im Sonnenlicht mit den verschneiten Bäumen und Ästen im Vordergrund eingerahmt hast. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
Viele Grüsse aus dem verschneiten Donautal,
Helmut

osub (1659) 2008-11-24 17:46

Gruß,Leo

Didi (36064) 2008-11-25 11:38

Hallo
Nice and strange gray snow on the trees; it's the result of a strong exposure of the whites; it is making an interesting foreground.
Greeting from Orléans in a blue sky but very cold.

Bonjour,
un tres beau cadrage à la verticale pour ces premières neiges, ces sapins avec le soleil qui éclaire bien ce côté, une belle composition déjà hivernale mais magnifique

Hello Frank!
This picture is simple but so well seen and composed! Your idea for the frame with those branches full of snow contrasting with the evergreen trees in the background was excellent and the result is a beautiful and very eye-catching image! The title fits perfectly to the photograph! I really like it!
TFS - Congratulations!
Warmest regards,
Neyvan

Bonjour Frank.
J'aime beaucoup ce cadre fait avec les branches enneigées autour de cette plantation de sapins qui apporte de la couleur et du dynamisme. Bien vu !
Amicalement de France avec un temps de giboulées,
Jacques
