Beautiful scene well captured. Love the S curve in the road leading us in and that old oak is looking good the way you framed it.

Hello Gladys,

This is a lovely photograph!

I think what really impresses me are the colours here: as far as I'm concerned, I believe that the white balance is just right. It can be very difficult getting this right in scenes with a lot of white snow and quite often we see snow that isn't white at all. This snow is white and a lovely whitish-blue colour and I think that's just perfect.

The exposure - again, something difficult in snow scenes - is spot-on too.

Composition-wise it is really lovely, the road curving round to the left taking us deeper into the picture beyond that huge gnarled tree and onwards to the right to the gate past that cute little dog.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hello Gladys,
This would make a lovely shot for a Christmas card. I like the lighting very much and, also, the way the winding road invites us to step in and explore further. The landscape looks wonderfully different in the snow, but it's always nice when it has all gone away:-)
