Photographer's Note
Please click here for a larger version of this photograph on "beta" TE.
Taken on the morning and during the same walk as this photograph, the winter sun shines brightly on the snow which has fallen overnight while mist still hangs over the lower ground.
In the workshop you can see the effects of frozen mist on a wire fence and also some pretty ice crystals on tall grasses at the roadside.
ISO 160, 1/500 sec at f/8, focal length 25mm.

Hello John,
The title is still perfectly relevant. Although the composition as such is fairly plain, the elements of this bright day in winter have created a stunning view which you handled with a very careful exposure. Personally I am even more fond of both workshop photos, which give us close looks at two fantastic works by the artist called Nature, but they may have been regarded by a moderator as stretching the TOS too far.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello John,
A truly delightful winter composition. Beautiful lights and colours and a wonderful sense of depth. I like the use of the snow encrusted tree as a frame with the gate adding a touch of graphism.

Hello John,
A really cold winter landscape with a lot of snow. The sunlight illuminating the landscape in the distance adds a wonderful warm glow nevertheless, which creates a good contrast with the bluish tones of the foreground. The composition is good and well-balanced, especially thanks to the inclusion of the gate in the foreground.

Bonjour John,
C'est bien le genre de paysage que je vois jour après jour lorsque je prends ma marche quotidienne. L'effet du froid est remarquable avec cette petite brume frigorifique.
Amicalement

Hi John
great to see new posts from you again :)
in post processing, I wonder how this would look if you reduce the 'blues', I can do that with Photoshop Elements, not sure what program you use. Sometimes I find reducing blue in winter shots makes the snow more white and more natural, but sometimes it looks better like this in blue....it would be fun to see both shots side by side for comparison. just food for thought. its a lovely scene, lovely bg and depth. i love the crisp clean air look that is so evident in your shot. fantastic. PS - I have news to share. Joanne and I are engaged (2 weeks ago), and we are also pregnant!!!! I will be a daddy for the first time!!! We are due Aug 20th :) Cheers

Hello John,
I love all three photographs, in fact the wire or the grasses, your w/s, could have been super and very different, main posts.
This main shot is so pristine! Without the snow, the impression would have been quite different.
I'm not complaining, I love it!
This is a type of composition that I particularly like, too, with a strong f/g presence, setting the scene and creating a fine sense of depth to an attractive b/g.
Do you remember when Gaffer used to critique and mentioned that there should always be a strong, f/g triangle? I still look for that and I think you've got it, here.
It is a really beautiful scene, wild and free!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello John, various shades of blue that make one sense the cold. I love the close ups of the frost/frozen crystals in the workshop.
You managed the light really well here. Lovely textures too, with the conifer, the grasses and the distant trees.
Regards Jean.

Hello John,
You do some lovely walks and I envy the snow that you have had. We have almost none and certainly nothing worth recording on camera. The gate makes a point of interest that leads to the wide landscape beyond.
Lovely image.
Best wishes, Ann

Amazing series of beautiful winter shots. All three a joy to look at, especially today, as I'm imprisoned at home by pouring rain and howling wind (will try a walk in my local common later... I think).
Masterful composition with layers of white light and blue shade and the tree framing the image on the right.
Have a nice week and wishing you good photogenic weather on Wednesday.
