House on Delaware in Winter

This photo was taken yesterday morning after one of the biggest snows

of the winter on the Delaware River at Washington Crossing

Pennsylvania. I hope you enjoy this wintery scene as much as I did

shooting all day in this winter wonderland. Comments welcome. Please

view large. Thanks, Mark.

wow, great light, great timing...only thing I would have done is use a ND2 grad on the bottom half and pushed the grain a stop...but that's just me ;p Great shot!

Thanks, Mike. I had an ND filter on my other camera and Sigma 50mm f/1.4 lens, but didn't use it for this shot. This shot was taken with my 7D and the Tamron 18-270mm that I won in the Photo.net Holiday Photo contest. I've been giving that lens a good workout this month. It's a nice walking around lens, very light. I was using Highlight Tone Priority trying to get as much detail as I can out of the snow. I don't yet have an HD filter for this lens as most of my other lenses are much larger.

I very much like the texture, light, and disrupted reflections on the water. It seems as if that part could have been painted by Monet.

I really think this is a beautiful capture Mark. I'm glad to hear you are getting good use out of the lens you won (congrats BTW). I really like the reflections on the river. I am guessing that there is water on top of ice??? Lovely Winter scene that would look great in print!

Bernard and Gail, thanks for stopping by to view the shots and the nice comments. All the best. Mark

Beautiful scene, especially with ice floating on the water.  When I scroll the image up on my screen to essentially eliminate the sky, I like that composition as well.

Stephen, that's a good suggestion, I think.
