Purple glow!

And this is the one I meant to comment on earlier, but it disappeared from the critique forum before I got to it. I love it! As with your other photos, the colors here are masterful. The subtle colors really bring out the coldness of the scene, while still leaving it somehow invitingly serene. You've set off the branches of the tree beautifully against the pastel parts of the sky, and the dark sky above and branches on the left frame the image really nicely. I think if I were to suggest one change, it might be to clone out (difficult with clouds) or crop out the meteor-shaped pink cloud in the upper left, but even that slight distraction can't take away from the beauty of the image as a whole. Really nice!

Leslie,

Thank you for the appreciation and the kind analysis.Now that you mention the distracting effect of the pink incursion at the top,I must agree although I purposely left it in during processing as I thought it fitted in nicely.

Merci et salutations-Laurent
