Last Winter Image?

Beautiful glow on the peaks, and such apristine scene - very pretty Joshua.

Joshua, the glow on the peaks adds a nice dash of color to the photo and contributes very well to the overall atmosphere (mood) of the shot.

Beautiful Image, hope you get that one last dump, didn't think we were going to but we ended up getting it today.

Captured and processed perfectly. Great light and color on the peaks.

Cool shot, Josh! That alpen glow is sweet!

Hi Joshua

I think the main thing here is the perfect light over the background mountains but your comp is not helping because the tree weight in the frame, I'd like to see those peaks free of the tree branches

Best regards

Joshua,

I think this is somewhat unique. Most folks recognize the great light on the peaks, but Roberto is touching on what I think is different. Yes, the tree is pretty "heavy" in the frame, but I think it's different in a way that I think someone purposefully chose this composition. Obviously you did and I'm curious as to your thinking. You only mentioned the peaks and the snow covered lake in your description.

I think it works cause you've got me thinking and trying to figure out what you're trying to say, or what attracted you to the scene - besides the obvious fleeting light on the peaks.

Please don't take this the wrong way - I think the composition is "out of the box" and that's nice to see something different in terms of compositions.

Thanks for posting.

This conveys the cold! Brrr.

The foreground tree is a bit distracting to me for some reason. I think it takes away from the peaks in the background. Do you have any different compositions that involve the tree, but with less of an in your face angle? Perhaps further back and to one side?

Beautiful light on those peaks though..

To answer some of the above questions: I included the tree in this one simply to include a foreground subject, the reason being that images of the peaks alone from this location just seemed to me like they've been "done" so many times by myself (and other photographers) that I wanted to shoot something a little different. I didn't think of it at the time (at least consciously) but I noticed while looking at this file later that the three top branches mimic the three primary peaks above, which is a pretty cool coincidence.

Nicolaus, I actually would have liked to move further back to include more of the bottom of the tree. I had already climbed a little bit above the trail but the deep, slick snow and a steep slope directly behind me prevented me from moving back any further. Unfortunately, this was also the widest I could get with my lens. Oh, yea, John, it was indeed really cold (-10) that morning too! Thanks to all for the comments!

Joshua, Beautiful image. Like the comp & the light Good Job!
