Leaves in sparkling snow

I like the simplicity of the photo, and how the main attractions are the sparkles of the snow and the gradient colors in the leaves. The fine details of the leaves look really great, and the layout of them off-center is a great design element. The sparkles in the snow speak for themselves, showing the brilliance of nature, down to its minute details.

Comment from Lucas Sizov


You got it ! It's sparkling! But I like different part of it: the fall leaves, like fallen angels. It looks like they were dancing and suddenly were frosen when they touched the snow on the ground. Then they partially sank into the cold snow and went to sleep. .. it looks like they came from an oak tree. We actually have one in our backyard so I recognized the shapes of the leaves. Reminds me when two seasons meet together: fall and winter and Winter is always the winner. My compliments with a six star rating...and my hugs! Stay warm and healthy Gracie!!!

I like the simplicity of the composition. The three handsome leaves look like acrobats dancing in the snow. Their shadows are intriguing. The curve created by the dancing leaves is eye pleasing. The photo is perfectly focused and exposed. Light and colors are realistic. The photo is expertly framed. The composition is balanced.

This is a difficult image to photograph. You captured the bright snow with out losing the shadow of the leaves. They look like they crash landed to together. You have a sharp eye to capture this image. Most of us would have kicked the leaves and keep on walking. Perfect framing, perfect exposure, Well done.

Comment from Charlie Newman


This is an excellent example of how a photographer not only sees , but envisions a scene where most people might give it a glance and pass by. Your lighting and white balance are well managed. The stark contrast of the leaves with their shadows stand out we;;. Good eye behind the lens.

A beautiful picture of these golden Autumn leaves bathed in sunshine on the sparkling newly fallen snow. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

I know what you mean, because also I have tried to capture the sparkle you are talking about. I think you managed well With this photo, and I really like the simplicity.

The Autumn leaves are standing out Sharp and well defined against the snow, and the exposure is spot on.

The format and framing is fine and the leaves are well placed in the Picture. A truly lovely and well taken photo Grace, and With an excellent DOF.

Comment from Len Shood


This is a very nice shot, nicely composed with some subject matter, there is something to draw the eye to and lead it through the image. Try shooting against the light for snow sparkles, it's worked for me in the past.
