Silver Birch on Frozen Pond

I would love to hear from you. Thanks.

A beautiful composition! I like the snow resting at the birch trees base and then watching the light fall throughout your photo.The snow and ice patches as it weaves through the pond with the shadows and light is very good. All of this gives such a nice balance and makes an excellent winter nature scene.

Lovely composition :-)

Beautiful light & place. Lovely composition.

Nicely composed Kim,seen through the tree branches...Pnina

Merni, Leann, Cherlyn and Pnina it is indeed a pleasure to have you come by and appreciate your comments. Just mid afternoon and the low winter sun was already casting long shadows.

Nice composition.

 

Regards...

Thank you Pulok :-)

Amazing place and photo! best regards

This is not easy to see...amazing composition and beautifully executed. Congratulations.

Fine composition with warm colors diluting the chill of the season. Love those patches of snow and ice breaking the reds and greens.

Hi Shuki, as always, it's very nice to see you. I do love this spot and have taken many pictures around the area.

 

Welcome Borislave. This was my walking through the bush afternoon and I saw many views of this pond.It's nice of you to comment.

 

Paula, yes the seasons create an ever changing scene. I was lucky to be there at that particular time of year, now everything is covered in snow so a lot of the colour is gone!

Kim, very beautiful - I have always admired the colour of silver birch but have never been able to quite capture the sheen of the bark. You have caught it superbly here, the other darker colours contrast well and help to bring it out.

All wrapped up and waiting to be opened...a gift to us all, thank you.

Postcard pretty and I mean that as a compliment! I'm sure you could sell prints of this - very nice, Kim.

I like this peacefull shot. Light and colors are nice, well captured.

good catch...I envy you this one:)

keep it up

Colin, I'm glad you mentioned the sheen of the birch. I was tempted to alter it but decided to leave it natural. This way I was able to class this as "unmanipulated" which is something I was envious of and now can do with thanks to the new camera.

 

Roger, 'you' are a gift with your sweet words.

 

Kim, I love that you came by. Your thoughts on this make me feel great!

 

Gaetan, Thank you for the encouragement.

 

 

Uros, so kind of you to envy me this shot. I got lucky. I'm not showing any of the bad shots I got that day!

This one would look great above a fireplace, too! For being a winter image, it has a wonderful warmth in the colors and textures. I love it!!

Hi Kim B. ! It is indeed a place of honor for my 'frozen pond'. Thank you so much for that!

Beautiful landscape! ~Sky

Good decision, Kim. The light and colour here are special. Have fun with the new camera!

Kim, this place is lovely and I love the view you took from. I like the trees that give a good DOF.Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.

What a beautiful piece of landscape.The Beginning with the Birch Stems and the needle tree,lets you look far out going further into a forest,so large and still an intemate feeling."happy hOLIDAYS" Kim, Alix.

Sky, Colin, Spencer and Alix. I do love that you left your thoughts on my late fall scene. It's not quite winter in this one yet. It was a fun day, going out alone in the bush and taking my time and trying out the new equipment. Adding to my wilderness experience that afternoon was a sighting of a pair of river otters along the far shore of this pond. They were a lot of fun to watch but too far to photograph.
