Snow, mist and trees

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted January 29, 2010470 views31 comments

Finally we've got some snow in the plain, this is the first time this year that it stays in the ground for at least a few hours. I'm really disappointed with the weather this year...

Taken yesterday morning a few minutes after sunrise, in the fields around home.

Your c&c are as always highly appreciated, thanks in advance for your time.

Details: Eos 50D, Tokina ATX-Pro 12-24 f4, tripod.

Nice to see a shot from you again. And it's a fresh one and it's wonderful. This proves that you don't have to walk too far to get good shots.

Paolo, this is very nice. Wonderful lines that focus your eyes right up the middle then circle around. This possibly might make an excellent B&W too!

Spectacular composition. Very simple, the fog eleminated all the disctractions, beautiful lines and perspective. The quality of light is amazing.

Classic perspective, Paolo, I also like the warm and cool side of the image, left/right, yin/yang, and the faint shadows of the trees, well done

I don't understand how this image didn't win the EP. It is absolutely superior to anything that appeared not only last week, but also probably last several months.
For me this image is the winner.

Hi Paolo, this is a marvelous image with some incredible lighting and a simple but very strong composition. The only thing that bothers me a bit (but obviously no one else who commented so please take this with a grain of salt) is the yellow and red color fringe around the sun. If it is possible to fix that then this would be perfect IMO.
