A portrait of a tree

New year came with a beautiful hoarfrost. Your opinions and

suggestions for improvement are welcomed.

Peter,  You are an excellent portrait artist here.  The perspective and composition are great.  Well seen and presented.  Larry

Well done Peter, a super good lead in to our portrait of the tree, slightly covered landscape of snow adds a dramatic effect and captures our attention - Congrats for getting mine 

Really nice. The subdued colors and relatively low contrast add to the chilliness of the scene (as though the ice were not enough), and I love the composition--utterly symmetrical in overall structure, utterly asymmetrical in the details that create the structure. There's something so engagingly whimsical about the positioning of the tree--I love it. 

Nice composition and post processing, well done.

I wouldn't change a thing.... very nicely done!

Larry, Tony, Leslie, George, Bob, thank you! This was my second try after almost a year to photograph the tree with hoarfrost. It was a cold, but a wonderfully calm day. I shall post more from the area later on. Happy new year to all of you!

Hi Peter, a very effective composition - the symmetry works really well and I love the whole seasonal look and colour palette. Great work! Best wishes. Sarah

Thank you, Sarah! Best wishes. Peter

A very nice image well composed, all the lines converge the eye to the frost tree, the warm colors of the soil contrast with the icy enviroment , ciao Giangiorgio

Thank you, Giangiorgio!

An excellent POD, congratulations.  This would make a fine painting... Mike

Thank you, Mike!

What a clever tree, to pick a spot so opportune...
