    When I get a WOW!! WOW!! from YOU Jairos I am honestly flattered......especially as I really wanted this to be about more than just the sky so you commenting on the detail in the softwoods has made my afternoon and means you see exactly what I'd hoped reviewers would. Oh and the great review?? Marvelous gold star?? Well, like those too...lol Thank you so much. I do really appreciate the whole deal here.

Yes, February is quite an awkward winter month here in the UK too! Brilliant sunshine this morning followed by cold driving rain in the afternoon. Your fine classical composition grants us a very enjoyable view of your beautiful location. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely taken!

Your composition and presentation are outstanding .
The focus and clarity are spot on . I believe if you would cropped the sides to the trees it helped with the framing which holds the viewers eye .
Regardless it's a very cool piece and thank you for sharing .

    Appreciate your thoughts and suggestions John but purposely wanted to leave a little room left and right frame....looked to post-cardy otherwise....and I wanted the viewer's eyes to roam around the piece. Thank you so much for having a look though.

Groovy,Deb! ( I almost said 'Cool' but that pun is growing sort of lame! Lol! )
It's not as though I like Winter or anything ( and I'm happy that temperatures are going to be in the upper sixties over here this week! ) but I certainly do admire these impressively pretty Winter scenes that you've presented us with!
That sky looks especially nice! : D
A 'Good Show'?
Oh yeah! : )

Comment from Browncat


A beautifully composed photo with lovely colors. The golds are most unusual and you captured the scene at exactly the right time to showcase the fresh snow.

    It IS unusual to see them here AFTER a snowstorm BC but they helped to make a lovely image. Do appreciate the fine review you've given my new piece. Thank you so much.

Comment from shoregrass


Ah, what a winter wonderland once again. I do believe this is the best one yet. There is something about the transition from the blue tinged whites to the yellow/orange sky that creates the most wonderful contrast. Then the way the tree tops burst forth clearly against the sky. Wow! Composed with your usual artistic style of getting just the right balance of trees and foreground in the scene.
Truly wonderful, Deborah. But, I do wish you a break from winter soon. Come to Florida. We are now having gorgeous weather.

I always whine in February.....tried to control it w/ my notes here today lol You are a dear for giving this one such a wonderful review AND a gold star. Thank you so much. Made me smile too w/ your generous offer. I really like this image too btw.
