Val Roseg Winter

Val Roseg Winter - Engadin, Switzerland

* I post it again, because I realized that it is again too dark here, so I lightened up a bit to compansate for the white background.

This image is from the next morning after my previous post.
I went farther with snowshoes in the fresh snow. It was not easy to set up the tripod in it.
The light was not really the best, unfortunately in winter the rising sun comes up behind the peaks.
The sky was also totally cloudless. Otherwise it was a nice winter landscape, very peaceful in the fresh snow.


Thank you for looking, C&C are welcome

It feels very peaceful. Especially with the softness in the snow. Very nice comp, and I like the first light hitting the peaks. Well done.

Shantikara,

A very quiet and lovely winter landscape. I can hear the trickle of the stream among the silence of the landscape. The touch of light on the peaks is literally the icing on the cake.

Very nice scene. The softness of the snow and the colors work well together, and really like the warm highlights on the ridge.

I can feel the cold and hear the silent stillness. I like the slight glow on the snowy peaks. :toast:
