Some of you recoognize this forest from one of my erlier post posts.In december we had a lot of snow here with a period of cold temperatures so the snow rest on the trees and gave some real interesting photo opportunities here in the "Belchen" region in northwest switzerland.

What a great contrast of color. The bark stands out very nicely, and the details of the frosted branches don't look "muddy" and compressed.

In its simplest form, this is a two-tone image. Wonderfully presented.

Those trunks pop! Very graphic and abstract patterns. Large version a must for all of the branch detail.

A crowd got in before me and said everything I wanted to say!

As an image, this is almost visual choreography. Really well done!

Very nice composition with the two FG trees set to the left. The detail of the snow on the tres is wonderful. I imagine that this would make an excellent mural.

Wonderful image, Bill. The lightness, colors, and uniform verticality all satisfy the experience.

Very nice abstract. Just the right amount of snow to separate the elements perfectly.

I like this a lot, Bill. The repeated lines provide a sense of rhythm to the composition. The contrast between the tree bark and the snow really adds a nice sense of depth as well and seems to add separation between the foreground and background trees.
