How did I miss this one? Talk about a winter wonderland!
Your handling of the white is perfection! The trees all kissed with snow is magical! What a lovely capture and fine edit.
Cara this is White as snowtastic!

What a lovely snow covered scene with beautiful lighting making this bright but not over exposing the snow. Great shadows to add depth. Great edits.

This is a beautiful presentation. Lovely snow covered trees with good focus and lighting and I like the vignette.

This is a marvelous picture. I have not seen anyone do snow as realistically as you did here. The text at the bottom is well framed and fits in nicely. Good work!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too! What a beautiful card to start off with! The detail of the soft snow is nice as is the lighting, just a pretty day with amazingdiamond snow. I like the "frame" and the shadows add perfect depth! Donkeyoatey

Thank you very much for the lovely review. Even here in Oslo it is not often you see such a perfect winters day as this.

Comment from Jake'sstudio
BRRRRRRRRrrr! This is a wonderfully framed and composed winter wonderland piece which although evoking COLD, also presents a pleasing, comfortable view of a lovely setting well captured and reported. Black and White and Gray scales used well here. A very nice work for sure!

Wonderful composition and message. The varying shades in the snow from bright white to gray are remarkable. I may be losing my mind, but that little pine in the center left looks like some sort of Snow Creature! LOL Nice work and Happy New Year.

Thank you very much for the lovely review. It seems like a lot of members can see something in this photo. You see a snow creature, another member could clearly see a snowman, and one could even see ET upside down. LOL

Comment from Lakelady
What a beautifully composed postcard shot! Next year's Christmas card, right? It is so difficult to capture all this white, but you've done a great job - perfect timing of new snowfall and ice on tree limbs. Nice work!
