Frosted Paradise

I have always struggled to find a satisfactory composition for this beautiful tree near the railway line at Loch Achanalt and I doubt a close approach is possible at any other time of year without very long wellington boots but here the ground had frozen solid permitting access to an ideal spot where all feels balanced. The beautiful caramel light reflected into the deepest shadows providing me with a wonderful contrast between sunlit frost and blue ice.New!! Photographic workshops and Masterclasses appearing soon at TRANSIENT LIGHT.

Frozen Loch Achanalt in Strathbane, Scotland. Minus 18 degrees

celcius and my fingers have still not recovered from frost bite.

Man, you've really made the most of that location and the frosty conditions you've been getting. All your renditions are spectacular, tough to choose a favorite. I like the blend of cool and warm light in this one.

Frost is your friend. I like it on the foreground vegetation, the large shrub (or shrub-covered hill) on the left, and of course on the tree. The tree's reflection is perfect. I'd be tempted to crop just above the hill on the upper right, thereby focusing the viewer's attention more directly on the main parts of the photo (at least that's how it works for me on my monitor).

I like the way you have positioned the reflection so perfectly, it makes for a strong focal point. A beautiful image.
