Very artistic image, Sandy! The solitary tree placement, lighting, details, and lines of the hills all come together in a very compelling and pleasing way with your fantastic comp. Beautiful, simple, and artistic shot! :toast:

Ha! Maybe I should have looked at the submissions before I uploaded my shot of this tree, Sandy! :rolleyes:
Great capture, and looks like you had pretty much the same conditions I had, only mine was taken this Feb.

This is killer, Sandy. The subtle curves of the snow covered hills are perfectly framed with the lone tree. :cool: :cool:
