Yes, I would reckon your beautiful location was very tranquil. Here in our part of the UK we have been battered by strong winds and heavy rain for the best part of two days now! Your image has a good, classical composition and is well exposed. Sharpness and exposure are fine. Well don and Happy New Year!

    My little spot here is tranquility itself Nik. I am a very lucky woman and happy to be able to share part of it here on FAR so thank you for such a fine review...and Happy New Year to you as well.

Beautifully composed, Deb, with a very artistic arrangement of all the trees. A perfect amount of snowy foreground positions the tree line perfectly in the scene. I like how the puffy clouds compliment the snow and the contrast of just the right blue sky. Another excellent winter shot and thanks for braving the cold to get it. Ed.

    Now that is a beautifully well considered review Ed. Thank you so much for having such a good look at my new piece and for doing up the review for it so perfectly! My camera and I managed just three images before we chickened out...lol but THIS was one of them so we did all right!

Happy New Year,Deb! : D
Yeah,the Dryads who inhabit these 'Far Northern Hula Girls' are deep into their supernatural hibernation now,aren't they?
Soon ( according to Haudenosaunee legend ) the 'Wee Dee Gaa' ( the 'Cannibal Spirit' will stalk the land! : O )
Okay! Arcane Native American mythology aside,that's a great looking picture!
'Good Show',my friend!

What a beautiful post to start off the new year here on FAR. Thank you for the wish of tranquility....I think we all could use that one! :D

Your photo is stunning...and yes it looks cold. But I'm not sure minus 15 is a time I would venture out with my camera. But you have been rewarded with this crisp beauty and pure color. Your camera settings were perfection! Thank you for sharing this and your notes. I hope you find a way to stay safe and warm throughout this frigid season my friend. Happy 2018!~
