Good Grief LeeAnn!!! This looks like the tree from the haunted forest! Very Spooky Looking! This is an incredible capture! The lighting and focus give this an ultra creepy look. I'm so glad you came across this and posted it here. Presentation is awesome! Super entry for the outdoor contest! I bet no one expected to see this! LOL I sooooo wish I had a six!!! :o) Nancy

Comment from Celyn1


This is an amazing picture. It is incredibly atmospheric and it makes me feel cold just by looking at it. It looks in focus and the back lighting of the tree is beautiful.
Good luck with it

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that cold looking tree. Textures, colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely created!

I like this work because it is so unusual in its concept, fine execution, and unique atmosphere; The light, colour, and composition have worked well. Good luck!

Cool,LeeAnn!
That ice-glazed tree has a great 'Spooky' sort of a vibe going with it!
That's something I always 'get right into'!
'Good Show',my friend!

Wow! You have created a gorgeous scene. Your intuitive skill looked at this opportunity and dreamed about what it could be. The postproduction filters added the final layer of beauty and shows your technical skills. The DOF is almost 3D. THis would look fantastic mounted on a large sheet of aluminum and float mounted. Gorgeous!

Gorgeous LeAnn. This looks mysterious and kind of eerie.
At first, it looked like a horse with its head turned and holding an icie branch in its mouth.

It's a great capture. I love the whole concept of this photo.

You wont need luck. So all the best! :)

This is just gorgeous ! I love the shape of the tree and the way the ice has formed on its branches and weighing them down .
You have photographed it well LeeAnn with good focus , this image is clear, exposure is correct, the icy formations on the branches appear natural in tone. The tree steps forward from the silvery blue sky . Your use of mixed media is effective , the ice does have a glow.
Well composed and presented! Very best wishes to you in this contest!

Outstanding capture of a tree covered in ice, kind of like a tall woman standing there adorned with silvers and golds. Every element is well seen as well as the background that makes the unique image pop more. Best wishes.
