great shot. very interesting subject. the composition is good - i know the hill is angled that way, but maybe tilt it a little to straighten it out? i don't know maybe it wouldn't look as good that way, just a thought. Did you us a filter to get the sun rays perfect like that? they are great. the snow looks great too. nice work...I wish it were mine!

Excellent photo! Did the angle of the light cause that sparkle in thhe snow? Great job to keep the sky color from blowing out.

Espectacular shot, what a light, a shinning, and the long tree shadows more the perspective are giving a very impressive effect.
If I had a chance I would take another shot only of the tree.

Congtrats!!

The blue sky turning dark.
Sun into the tree just brilliant.
The shadow of thoses trees nice.
The snow with some piece of crystal on it.

Fantastic! Don't know what to add that hasn't been said already. Especially love the little reflections in the snow.

sirdraco (129) 2003-10-16 15:12

Very good composition and balance. I wish there wernt and lens flairs. But, what can you do? Great eye and thanks for sharing

longwayfromhome (419) 2003-10-28 13:13

This is just great! It is soo nice to see original work on this site again. I love everything about this picture; the deep blue sky, the texture and sparkle of morning snow, the shape and line of the shadow reaching out to us, the perfect solar flare hanging from the tree like some strange fruit and the line of smaller, dimunitive trees who all want to be as special as the one on the far right.

Excelent picture!!! I love these shadows so much.

Pookanoodle (482) 2004-01-16 7:11

Absolutely stunning!

Jeppe (18654) 2004-01-16 7:23

Wow - what a capture - Amazing how the shadows adds 3D effects to this photo. The slope which gives fine shadows in the surface of the snow also great - very well done - And finally the reflections from the sun, the dark trees and the blue sky .. I must stop now - congratulation.

Beautiful shot! Very well composed, nice capture of shades and sparkles on the snow. Also great idea to use the tree to "tone down" the strength of the sun. It probably would not have worked any other way. Great eye!

Midnight_sun (1941) 2004-01-27 6:42

Perfect postion! That snow looks really inviting. Excellent.

Riz (0) 2004-02-20 10:24

This a wonderful winter wonderland landscape the large shadow from the tree brings the eyes to the sun!well done this is a fav of mine. bravo Vincent!

edji (1368) 2004-02-24 22:25

Très belle image. On dirait que la source de lumière provient de l'arbre. J'aime bien les ombre projeté sur la neige, la contraste est très bien. Bien vu.

FrancisSanto (528) 2004-03-05 7:52

la surface qu'il faut à ces ombres

willow_of_god (360) 2004-03-08 21:50

La nuance entre le bleu et le blanc, génial.
Bonne prise de vue.

nainconnu (351) 2004-03-09 7:47

Tout simplement fantastique! La neige en premier plan est si nette et les ombres donnent énormément de profondeur. Que dire des rayons du soleil. Je retoucherais le vignetage en haut à gauche. Une photo à faire agrandir et laminer :-D

swallace (980) 2004-03-09 13:44

Vincent, this is beautiful. Wonderful composition. The snow looks like it's covered with diamonds. Very nicely done.

nialap (591) 2004-03-12 15:38

Magnifique photo. Cadrage, expo, tout est parfait. Tu l'as prise pendant la période de froid de l'année passée ? C'était bien en février, non ? Pour faire briller les cristaux de neige... Pas eu l'occasion cette année ! Je regrette juste les peties taches de couleur, en plus des reflets sur l'objectif. Celui-ci était un peu sale, peut-être ? C'est le problème du soleil de face. Pas encore brûlé ton CCD ? ;-)

Gael (128) 2004-03-14 17:59

Impressionnant.

desman (2222) 2004-04-10 13:48

j'aimerais tant être à la place de ces ombres qui se dessinent si joliment sur cette neige fraiche.

Epoustoufflant ! Magnifique ! Quelle composition magnifique ! Rien à dire !

waskahegan (0) 2004-04-15 16:08

Great, it is very beautiful

xav (335) 2004-04-19 19:15

Ouawwww ce soleil cette teinte, cette luminosité c'est superbe. Et la comosition aussi, les arbres et surtout l'ombre qu'ils dégagent donne une profondeur à cette photo. BRAVO !

Wilcodebie (62) 2004-04-20 6:01

Perfect composition. Placing the sun in the tree. Nice shadows. Felicitations!

yerevantsi (44) 2004-04-21 8:40

Another stunning shot from you Vincent!
This is too, a favourite for me.
Bravo!

rabani (9645) 2004-05-13 23:25

I have had seen many snowscaped sceneries but this one, has a lot less visual of the snow but more on the effect of light and shadow on a snow landscape. The dark blue sky with the line of trees and the glare really pull and attract viewer to this photo. And is that sparklings on the snow?

Jean-Luc (5488) 2004-05-15 8:12

En fouillant TE, on trouve toujours des petites merveilles, (c'est comme aux Galeries Lafayettes à Paris)!
Sans parler de l'effet du soleil dans l'arbre ni des points lumineux, je trouve remarquable l'angle de prise de vue et les couleurs.
C'est un pur paysage d'hiver que j'aimerai voir...en vrai!

ngugu (51) 2004-07-18 15:59

Féérique. L'ombre de l'arbre principal est magnifique, et les scintillements de la neige sont très beaux.

explomars (4302) 2004-07-18 17:23

Le pied cette photo car tu y conjuques le soleil dans tout son éclat,la neige immaculée,le bleu du ciel ,la texture des arbres merveilleuse en hiver et leur ombre tres allongée qui rapelle la saison. Vraiment une des plus belles photos sur Trek pour ma perception personelle.Bravo l'artiste.

Oldtree (2457) 2004-08-20 1:38

Ahh. I like your photos with trees very much. They bring out the beauty and mistery of them. I feel desperate to look out of the window and wait for snow and a brilliant day. (5 minutes later) Eh yeah, I have to wait for at least 3 month to see snow here. :-(

vapours (8264) 2004-09-04 14:39

Excellent! looks too perfect, much like a computer generated graphic.

Carma (2440) 2004-10-30 17:45

What a fiesta for the eyes, spectacular! Great light, shadows and sparcle snow. All aspects are perfect.

lucinka (9976) 2004-11-19 7:40

What a peaceful and impressive shot. Just a few colors but what a strenght. Great composition and perfectly captured light. L.

absolutely stunning...the more i look at your work Vincent the more i'm complete in awe of it

Wonderful shot Vincent, remarkable texture visible in the snow. Love the shadows of the trees as they stretch over the slow. This should could work well as a monochroms also.

rajhema (1873) 2006-05-16 14:42

Vincent, This picture is truly from your skill rather than the beautiful nature. Yes, the scenario helped you get that but I guess your timing and placing of the sun behind a tree all created that shadow and sparkles across the picture. Very sharp, clear and beautifull exposed. I don't see the EXIF data. Care to share that here? I would like to know your exposure time.

capella (182) 2006-05-16 14:47

WOW it's wonderfull composition... colors as cold as winter..

ayobami (1353) 2006-09-15 16:59

Truly fantastic! All the elements are here perfectly!!
