[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken on the same day as my previous shot - cold weather, icy fog and frost all over the trees. I thought it would be interesting to show some details about this frost, which I find so beautiful. I can't help but being amazed by its strange shape, like hundreds of spikes. But even if they look dangerous, they are so fragile - the slightest breeze is enough to make them fall on the ground.

Each little twig, each strand of grass, each plant was covered with these beautiful frost formations. Everything was white and thorny, I almost did not recognize the landscapes I was so familier with ! :-) But this change was very welcome as it allowed me some beautiful pictures, and now it has disappeared again (after almost one week), leaving me in my usual world again...

Wonderfully captured. Great details. Good shot! TFS.

Hello Valerie,
Large parts of Europe seem to have enjoyed this weather conditions last week, creating such great photo opportunities!
The image is interesting also because it shows how ice structures are building up...
Fine details and well framed!

Hello Valerie

A very good close up of this interesting frost.
The way it formed on the branch is unique.
I like how you composed it in the frame,and the POV and DOF is very good.
Nicely done.

Hi Valerie.
Perfect reproduction of this art work, created by nature and skillfully reflected by you. I like pleasant delicate colour palette and "ice" sharpness of the main subject. Exposure and DOF are spot on. My compliments and best wishes.

Saludos y felicidades para tí y los tuyos en estas fechas tan entrañables, JL.

Bonjour Valerie,
wonderful how you captured this little ice sculpture. The composition and framing looks great. Amazing the fog in the Rhine valley transforms nature.
Je te souhaite une excellente année 2008!

Bonsoir Valérie, quelle belle photo de ce frimas. J'aime la simplicité et la beauté des petits glaçons. C'est bien vu et le background flou rehausse l'effet. Merci!

Bonjour Valérie,

A delicate twig covered by also delicate ice makes this picture interesting and well composed with a nice blurry background. Here, two we had lots of snow and now the weather is about 8-10C and this for the rest of the week. Very strange but actually can give very nice results like this image that you're presenting us.

Lise

bonjour valerie
cette photo exprime bien la rigueur du climat alsacien,encore que cette année il semble que ce soit assez doux.
j'ai un ami qui a fait une photo dans ce genre mais sur du barbelé d'un camp de concentration et cela donne vraiment tres bien aussi.

Hi Valerie!
Nice and very artistic composition! I like a lot POV and details. Maybe some noise reduction would be good, but as for me it is still a very nice presentation :)
Friendly yours,
Radomir

Valerie,
Though the temperatures have risen in Calgary we still have some spots where ice and snow still persist.
This is indeed a GREAT image.
The folk living in warm climates will be in AWE seeing this BEAUTY of nature.
Very well composed & presented.
Warm greetings, Mario.
