MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the members from TN.

Flanders and a part from Netherlands have three days very strong pollution in the sky, with a good word SMOG.
We see not snow but alone waterdrops in the air with a lot soot from the cars, but this give a very nice idyllic image, but very unhealthily.
A lot people have difficult with the respiratory tract, result; elder people and young children have to remain inside.

Here a picture on 1 mile of my home, normal a very nice place for a good stroll or a trip with the mountain bike through the forest.

I hope you like it.

Hello John,
A wonderful image, depicting the special situation in the Netherlands a couple of days ago with the frosty landscape!
Fact is this looks even better than snow, as it makes the naked branches so beautiful...
I wonder will this last for Christmas?
Seasonal greetings from Norway,
Pablo -

A PEACEFUL AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!

Superb shot John!
The composition with the lead-in lines from the path is very effective.
Great exposure and lighting.
Beautiful scene.
Well done!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Best wishes,
Joe

Hoi John,
De scherpte in deze foto is heel erg mooi. Ik heb echt het gevoel dat ik de foto word ingezogen.
Het rijp heeft onze twee landjes wel erg mooi weten te veranderen. Het feit dat je nog zoveel kleur hebt weten te vinden maakt de foto net iets anders dan normaal. Het lijkt me wel dat je de foto iets te veel verscherpt hebt.
Groeten,
Niek

Hi John.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, dear friend. Excellent shot of the place with amazingly decorated trees. I like superb DOF, impressive POV and reproduction of perspective, razor sharpness of the age and perfect composition.
Bravo and TFS.

Mooie foto John,
prachtige kerst sfeer. de foto is naar mijn idee zeker niet te scherp. Ook ik heb een flatscreen 19 inch goed gecalibreerd.
mooi werk.

Hi John,
Een prachtig wintersplaatje. Het pad zorgt voor diepte want het neemt het oog helemaal mee naar achteren. Hele mooie bomenrij met het rijp erop. Jammer dat het al weer weg is. Goede compo en hoek.
Fijne Kerstdagen.

Hi John,

A beautiful winter scenery with the trees covered with frost under foggy weather, the way the scenery is framed, it is giving depth to the photo also permits us to see the details of the frosted branches. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Hi John. A very appropriate composition for this time of the year, in Europe. We enjoyed BBQ today with almost cloudless skies! Beautifully put together and presented nature. TFS. Murray.

Hola John. Muy bella la foto del invierno. Agradable la presentacion y muy alta nitidez.
Saludos Luis52.

Bonjour John,
Ce paysage d'hiver est très réussi, avec des lignes affirmées et bien rythmées, avec un poit de fuite très décentré qui amène le regard au delà du cadre.
La lumière est parfaitement dosée. On ne dirait pas que l'atmosphère souffre de pollution ...
Avec tous les voeux pour 2008

Hello John. You are a master in landscape composition. You have drawn the path pinned down the bottom right frame so perfectly giving an excellent perspective of the shot. This I have to really work hard to get it right. The winter canopy of the trees are just stunning with the snow cladding on the branches. The beaten path also adds contrast to this otherwise looks like a monochrome composition. I really like to see more of your post here and keep shooting. Very well done John and best regards. Jusni

Hi John, this is a very good winter scene, but you'll probably be just as happy to see it gone, and spring here now. I like the way the hoar frost is clinging to those trees, and grass, leaving a fine path between the two patches of white for you to follow. Great colour and very good textures seen in this shot.

Thanks, John

Hi John,
Very nice and as You said, idyllic postcard image. Absolutely top photo (I bookmark it as one of my faves), can't be any better. The only thing I'm not fully satisfied with is the yellow sign, it breaks the color harmony of the image by my opinion. Otherwise a photo to be proud of.
Tfs and greetings from Hungary, László
