Wow, this is SICK. LOVE IT! Just a terrific find. Love the choice of square comp here, love the processing, too. Simply excellent.

EDIT: After making my post, I read Aaron's comment. He's right: this type of image will sell like hotcakes. People LOVE trees and simple comps like this.

Incredible symmetry, beautiful graphic design and stunning colors. Did you take some artistic license with the WB here or was it really that purple/pink?

Splendid. The colors and the geometry work together magnificently. I can't decide whether a slight crop at the bottom could make it even better, probably it is a matter of taste.

Simple and beautiful! Almost worth being outside when it is -10 degrees.

This is too good to be true! Those trees must have been planted by a photographer a long time ago....Superb!

WOW Matt,

Another image with truly special light, and you have captured in such a poetic manner. Is this real or am I dreaming, or maybe a little of both?

Have you had this particular image planned out for a while with the right light, Or did you just happen to be in the right place at the right time?

Stunning photography

What a great combo of simplicity and color! Those trees are perfectly spaced and each offers it's own interesting silhouette. The pink sky/purple ground looks perfect.

Wonderful winter shot. The warm tones on a snow scene is always a nice twist. Great find.

Really interesting Matt, I think I'd prefer a version with less color.
