That's the only name I can think for this image. Frozen Gladness was a name of a knock off of Hagen Das ice cream. However the name was in Danish so it was something like Fruzden Gladje.
Harley shot a close up of this tree that I hope he posts. It looked great on his ground glass.

Great pristine feeling to Dan. Very nice work.

Dan,
I really like this. I usually don't care for all the blank snow in the foreground, but there's a nice proportion here and I like the little hint of mist rising off the meadow floor. The tree line and background valley wall is beautiful. Yet another lovely winter scene from Yosemite.
Dan, although on a large scale vista, this scene has a very nice delicate look and feel to it.

I really like this image Dan. I think there is so much detail there that this is one image that has to bee seen in larger to really appreciate.
It also showcases the amazing snow that fell and literally covered everything. Man, I hope we get another snow like that this season. It has been too warm and/or to little precipitation ever since.
I like the scene. I am guessing you shot this with a 210mm? I have almost the exact scene shot slightly tighter. If you used a 210mm, then I must have used a 240mm. I often don't recall what lens I used and I am not a meticulous note-taker like Lon. I would make a lousy engineer.
In my film, I was hoping for more separation between the bare oaks and the rest of the scene. They really popped in person, but I have been unable to achieve it with my stuff.
For your image, I would prefer a bit of the foreground snow cropped out. I see it as too much empty space without discernable detail. Also, I might warm it up a little and get a little of that glow that was there in person.
Dan,
This image has a real feel for the winter scene it depicts. To my taste, the amount of FG snow is fine. Well done.

I'm usually on the other side of the Sierras skiing at Mammoth when new snow falls, but after seeing all your amazing images, I need to reevaluate my priorities.
