Excelente mundo de cristal, color B/W,. y perfecta composicion, un cordial slaudo Paula.

Very nice light tones, looks like sketch effect, great composition too, well done Paula!!! Warm regards.

Beautiful world... Paula. Guessed right composition.;) Regards.

Beautiful Paula. It is amazing the B & W tones that you achieve with digital. Great composition and truly captured the "Cristallinity" of the landscape.

 

Well done.

A beautiful picture, but now I need to go put a coat on and light a fire.

Very delicate. I like how you have brought out the contrast between the pure white and the dark. It looks like lace.

Bellissima foto,complimenti Paula!

 

Ciao

Touching your result of Black, White, Forms ...

Paula, thank You, for more winter.Very tender expression.I love the vague touch of the tree stems.

It was really very cold that morning, but the beauty was such that I stayed out for a while hoping to capture part of it at least. Glad the shot works for you.

Nice capture of a beautiful winter scene. Well done.

che bel bianco !!! bella complimenti

Bella!, sembra uscita da un mondo di fiabe....

Ciaoo

 

Paula this is a wonderful image. It reminds me of the Ice Storm of 1998 that hit southern Quebec. I was living in Montreal at the time. The ice storm came down overnight. The following morning as I was walking through the streets, I noticed the trees covered in ice. It was quite a sight. Of course walking proved to be treacherous and as branches and ice started to come down. Sorry about the digression, again this is a wonderful shot.

Gaetan, Ottavio, Alex, thank you so very much for your comments.

 

Amar, I enjoy digressions; enjoy when a shot brings backnice memories. Thanks.

Here's another digression then...Apart from the aesthetic beauty of trees, it wrought havoc to the region. Massive power outage for days, people living in shelters for days, some for months. Wasn't cozy for everyone. My family just spent the time in our house with thick blankets and got electricity back in a few days. Yeesh wouldn't want to go through that again. On the other hand, it's nothing compared to what those poor people in Louisiana and victims of the Tsunami in late 2004 had to undergo. Frightening the force of nature.

Amar, that was a hard experience and not at all nice. yet, it's important to remember as nature never stops warning us how powerful, majestic-beautiful and very destructive, too, she is.

Bella immagine invernale, molto ben composta e con delle delicate tonalita'

Grazie, Adolfo. Adesso, pero' vorrei sole e colori:-)

Hi Paula, I'm back (late monday), slowly adjusting. that is a very beautiful image.and a delicate rendition. B/W is a wonderful choice here. Pnina

Welcome back, Pnina. Have just seen your frist uploads: very interesting and curious to see more.

 

Coming from the sandy colors this icy landscape

seems out of the world, doesn't it.

Beautiful and delicate image and apt caption,Paula.

Magnificent snowy world, Paula, the high key effect of the snow gives the whole thing a wonderful atmosphere of stillness.

Yes, A.K, it really looked like crystal. Thank you.

 

 

Colin, it was easy toi enhance a bit as it was already high key day:-) Thank you.
