Silver Birches on Lake St Peter

Thanks for looking! Kim

This is really beautiful, Kim! I love the coloring, and the detail in the bark. The blue shadings on the lake are wonderful.

The image is very clean, crisp & sharp wtih very pleasing colour tones.

Kim and Cherlyn. I appreciate the feed back especially about the "blue" snow. I wasn't sure if I should tone it down or not. Winter in the country is so pristine and beautiful. I'm very glad to see you both.

Lovely colours of winter; well composed image.

 

Regards...

Thank you Pulok !

Very nice.Even the tracks look cool. Keep the blue snow,avoid yellow snow:-)

I like the composition, color, and sharpness. Well done.

Gorgeous! Shots like this make me actually consider moving north again ... truly cold weather (not the occasional 30 degree day like in DC), but truly COLD weather creates such beauty!! Thanks for sharing!!

Leann, nice to see you as always! Snowmobiling is the winter passtime in this area and there is a trail leading right through the lake into the bush. Yellow snow, bad...

 

Wilson thanks for noticing the sharpness, it still surprises me sometimes.

 

Lou Ann, it was nice to spend time in the country this winter and especially this past January as it was rather mild. Everything was so beautiful and pristine not like in the city where the snowbanks were brown and still are!

Picture perfect scenery! Love that you composed this with trees in the forefront. As stated before the crispness of the shot and the lighting are fabulous. The blue is just right to convey the coolness of the day. Very nicely done! Leslie

Kim - I love the papery flakes on these birches. This is an excellent outlook, it feels comfortable this side - like the viewer has taken cover for a moment from whatever goes on out there. The adjective crisp has been mentioned which, interestingly, sums up both the feeling of the air and the apparent dryness of the tree bark.

The air feels very clean; I like it here.

Hi Leslie! Yes, the lighting was fabulous that day as in, it was sunny!! Did not see the sun much in January. This particular afternoon I took advantage of the weather and went off looking for photo opportunities around the lake. Unfortunatly I couldn't get to some of the spots I wanted because there was too much snow. Next time I have to bring the snowshoes.

 

Hi Seven! I'm really glad you like it here and shared your feelings about this place. You are right, there is something that I find comforting as well. It is far away from the city and problems of real life but maybe this is real life...

 

Thank you both for your wonderful visit! Kim

Nice timing on this shot to capture the beautiful blue shadows on the lake. Stunningly crisp bouquet of winter textures, mmmm... The drop shadow might look better with the same direction lighting as in the shot as it seems to compete slightly. Very nicely done!

Thanks for your framing suggestion, you know I never considered that before while framing a shot. You are very observant as well as a very good photographer. I must go back to visit you, there is so much to see! I appreciate your visit very much!

Kim, I like the rough tree tranks against the smooth bluish surface behind them. Both of them are depicting very well the winter atmospher and environment changes. Well composed, I really like it! Pnina

This is avery beautiful "winter day"! Great light!

Really wonderful composition. Very nicely balanced. And the detail is pleasing. I like the tree's textures and lines. Well done.

Hi, Kim, splendid composition with nice foreground & good perspective, perfect details with great DOF, this is a very beautiful & clear picture!!! Best regards.

To Pnina,Ghiga,Ken and Richard, I wish to thank you all for taking the time to visit as well as writting the positive feedback. It means a lot, coming from from such wonderful photographers like yourselves.

Beautiful color and composition Kim, well done.

 

Thank you Cyrus, so nice of you to drop by.

The composition is great. The exposure is excellent and give beautiful and natural colors. Well done, I like it.

Beautiful shot!!!

Very beautiful, crisp and clear winter landscape. Good idea not to correct the blue shade, the color temperature feels very natural. No nitpicks from me, I like it very much !

 

Cheers
