Yes, it will be a white Christmas this year.

Excellent shot,Merry Christmas Kim,and happy new year.

Kim, I am no expert on filters but here are some that you should consider: UV/Haze, PL, 81A and Graduated ND. Here is a website that you can find more information about these and other useful filters. Happy holidays to you and your family.

Excellent winter scene!

 

Je vous souhaite a vous ainsi qu'a vos proches un joyeux noel. Que l'annee 2006 puisse apporter la realisation de vos desirs les plus chers.

Great picture

Very beautiful, Kim! This would make a great Christmas card! Very appealing contrast and color.

Merry Christmas to you, Kim. Very communicative of winter, but in a warm way, which is quite challenging to do. ^_^

for your wonderful comments and warm season greetings. I love it that you came by.

 

Jerry, thanks for the link to the website. I have some xmas $$ and I'll splurge on a couple of filters soon.

merry christmas to you and your family.

Beautiful and original white Christmas, Kim. Happy Holidays to you.

Kim, stunning image!

Love the sky and reflection off the snow, great composition.

Postcard perfect!

It's so nice of you to leave such pleasant comments. I love that you took the time and wish you all a very Happy New Year! Thanks a bunch!

It doesnt look natural but it has the charm of a toy railroad landscape ...

Thanks DP. Yes I know it doesn't look natural, I agree with you on that one. Great of you to drop by. Happy New Year !

Beautiful image Kim,best regards.

Very very nice picture. I love the tone, the composition, the contrast between dark and light. "Fantastique" in french.

Ta visite me fais plaisir ainsi que tes belles paroles.

I'm a bit late to wish you a merry Christmas Kim but I'm really fond of this shot. It attracted my attention immediately. The colours doens't look natural indeed, but the snow looks irresistible, just because of that wonderful mix of colourtones. It's a fantastic scene. Very well done! Warm greetings for this cold time of the year Kim, Ada:~)

 

I'm not allowed to give you my 7/7 alas:(

Thanks for the visit and your warming comments on this cold scene. I'm happy that you liked it.

Very beautiful athmosphere!

Hi Ghiga! Thanks for your extented visit to my place!

I was looking at your photos. I have not been on in a while, and must not have seen your photos on that last time here in January. I was looking and noticed how different they all are. They are absolutely GORGEOUS! And now I see you have a new camera.

I trully do believe that a great photograph, comes from the photographer and not the camera, but, as I see it here, your new camera has become the tool you use to respark your desire to learn and practice and be a better photographer.

Congratulations on your new toy. I'm not sure when you got it. But I do see that you are having fun playing with it to your hearts desire. I do look forward to learning from you too. Your images are my personal taste. Heather

I am very flattered by your kind words. I hardly know what else to say except, thank you sooo much.

 

You are very perceptive about the new camera. I got it late September and started out rather slowly on it. I am still not familiar with all it's functions but somehow I manage to take pictures and yes I do want to improve the quality of my photographs. It's like I started from scratch with the new equipment and I am thankful to the generous folks on this website for sharing their knowledge.

 

You say that my photos are all so different, well I guess I haven't found my niche yet and I find myself experimenting. Again, thank you for the nice visit, you made my day! Kim :-)

Hi Kim, I missed this picture somehow. It is very beautiful. The snow looks perfect in this photo. (I) hope it was a wonderful season for you and yours and I trust ya'll are having a great new year. Hope Spring with reach you soon. Best regards, ~Sky
