Morning frost.

Gallery: LandscapePosted April 21, 20111,259 views20 comments

It was -15C outside that day. The trees are in Grand river and the ones near water had the frost. Shot just few minutes after sunrise. Shot several frames before the sun melted the frost eventually. My breath was freezing on the camera back and tripod when I was composing.
C& C always welcome. Equipments: Canon 30D, 24-105mm. No filters used.

Fabulous lighting! I like all of the contrasts, blue water, frosted foreground trees, and golden background trees.

Wonderful conditions! The warm-blue contrast works great. Frost and light can turn a landscape into a magical scene. Very well done!

Well done; the light and the color are very nice. Good composition and the layering and light in the trees moves the eye around.

The warm/cool contrasts are perfect for highlighting these elements, Santosh. This is nicely done.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I have been to some of yours websites and learnt few things about contrast and lighting.

Congrats on the WP, Santosh. What a splendid image, the soft colors and layers of ice laden trees are remarkable.

Captivating lighting on the frosted branches. Congrats on the deserved EP! This should be stunner printed large.
I would consider cropping off the right to rid the bright orange and white limbs protruding along the right edge.
