As always, you seem to catch the light and picturesque view perfectly. This is an outstanding shot and deserves a kudos. It is more than a picture postcard...it is magnificent.

    awww...you are too kind Mama M. Not only did you have to go to my page to find this one (I know it had expired)...you then say the very nicest things about my photo AND give it a gold star! Such a lovely surprise...honestly- as I figured there would be no more reviews of it. I have said before that I sometimes feel like a cheat b/c wherever I point my camera here where I live there is a photo just begging to be taken. At any rate- thank you so very much for looking this one up and being so generous. I really do appreciate it.

Well, I started my review and added as a favorite and now starting over. This is just breathtaking. The golden sky in background with the dark forest with snow just pops. I would love to paint this if you would allow me to. I have been looking for some inspiration of a new painting and this is definitely a winner. Please email me on here if you would allow me the privilege of painting your lovely picture. I know I would not totally do it justice as this photo but I would surely try. Thanks for sharing.

    LOL...well thank you so much Lynn for putting so much effort into reviewing my latest post. I would be absolutely delighted to have you paint this. It happens to be my new favorite winter photo. Damn, it was so cold a few days ago when I took this that I had a hard time w/ my camera. Anyway, I certainly appreciate you sticking w/ it and most especially for the gold star you shared. Thank you so very much for all of it.

Comment from angelsanddiscus


It is a very fine composition of a winter's scene. Any of the fir or pines trees are very nice to see covered with snow as the weight bends the branches down. Very clean shot in the low light giving it a soft, peaceful feeling. Very well taken and thanks for sharing.

This is a beautiful view and the colors in the sky make it even more lovely. The snow covered trees are nice and the bit of the path showing is very inviting!

Lovely winter scene, Deborah, showing the snowcovered road and trees from your garden with the beautiful golden sky drawing the eye, creating great contrast. Very good lighting and focus. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Comment from Linda Engel


In my heart I'm giving you a "six" (I'm out). What an experience you get to have and thank you so much for sharing. The beauty of the snow dusted trees and the warm glowing sky is stunning. You have captured a perfect picture. Excellent focus and lighting. Good depth and details. Beautifully framed.

Comment from gitmowxman


Would love to walk that trail. Love how the yellowish red of the sky not only gives this photo nice depth but also outlines the snowy trees very well. The snow also brings out the green of the trees and gives great focus to everything. Thanks for sharing and HAGE.

Excellent white balance control, sharp focus, superb POV including that gorgeous orange/yellow sky and crisp detail on those snow Kissed trees.

Comment from avmurray


This is a beautiful winter scene Deborah, and you have pictured it so well. I especially like the golden sky in the contrast to the blue hues seen in the landscape and how well the big tree on the left is framing the scene in such a lovely and natural way.

Your photo is also nice and sharp and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen in all the trees. I also think the exposure is fine.

The photo is nicely framed and your POV very good. It is also a fine balance in the composition. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.
