[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Two days ago I went back to the place where I take the most of my butterflies and alpine plants shots . I knew that there was still snow and I was surprised that there was so much left. Days are longer now and I think in about a month the snow willl be gone. The sun is brighter now, which makes it difficult to take a decent picture, especially if there are snow and shadow parts.
In the front we can see the foodprints of a fox, I think.
The construction in the back is a traditional hut, where in older times was held the cattle in springtime.

Hi Anne,
Very beautiful winter scane.I liked POV,large DOFiwide angle view and composition a lot.Very well done!
Thanks for posting.
PS:I prepared a ws for you hope you dont mind:)

Ciao Anne, wonderful composition with splendid footprints of a fox, wonderful winter light, very well done, ciao Silvio

Ciao Anne,
bellissimo paesaggio montano ancora innevato in attesa dello scioglimento della neve per diventare di nuovo uno dei posti ideali per le tue bellissime immagini di splendide farfalle e di fantastici fiori. Il WS di eng55 corregge bene i riflessi di luce ma forse è eccessivamente saturato, per cui preferisco la tua scelta più vicina ai colori che percepiamo, anche se trattandosi di percezione a volte è solo una questione di gusto personale e di sensazioni.
Grazie dei tuoi commenti e di aver scelto una mia immagine come tua favorita.
Buona serata
Maurizio

Bonjour anne,
Stills looks like winter for sure. Just like a fox to just leave his footprints in the snow. A good scene for the contrasts you were experiencing...

Bonsoir Anne,
A fine alpine winter scene nicely taken against the spring light that makes the larch trees and spruces contrast sharply againt the snow to good effect. Nice to think that this area will be teeming with butterflies and wild flowers in two months.
We still have winter here too but the snow has gone.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Hallo Anne!

Irgendwie kommt mir diese Aussicht bekannt vor... Nur lag damals, als ich dort war, ein bisschen weniger Schnee! Ich sehe, auch Du kommst noch nicht recht weg vom Winter...

As Grüessli

Hola Anne.
Excelente y fina imagen. Muy hermosa postal la que hoy nos presentas aqui.
Saludos
Luis52.

Sin duda destacaria el buen control de la luz sobre la nieve, ya que aunque llevas la luz al límite, esta no distorsina .
Un bonito conjunto. Ya me gustaría estar por esas latitudes !!

Hi Anne.
This season is really amazing in your region. In our places almost never is. I am impressed with exactness of exposure, superb reproduction of the snow carpet, nice framing of the scene and great DOF and details of the lovely landscape. My kind regards and TFS. Well done.
Alexei.

Shooting snow with so much of whites and getting details is not a joke Anne! but you have produced a wonderful exposure. The placement of the hut in the golden mean, follwed by wonderful details and a blue sky make this a picture to watch.
There is halo effect of the sun on the top! I feel that could have been avoided with a lens hood! Don't you think so

Hy Anne
I hope that the winter will be gone and you will be able to take beautiful shoots on plants or insects or whatever you can find there. It is a quite simple landscape, but a little romantic with that little hut between the tress. A nice place to walk!
Oana

Bonjour Anne,
L'hiver, avec ses cinq mois de mauvaises conditions atmosphériques, m'a semblé très long et lorsque je vois tes publications j'imagine que toi aussi tu dois attendre le printemps avec impatience.
Malgré la présence de la neige l'ambiance n'est plus tout-à-fait hivernale certainement à cause de cette belle lumière.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard

Ummmmm...nope...not one butterfly:-) wow....hard to believe it was taken only a couple days ago...I am thankful, today being 1st day of spring, that we do not have this...you have passed on the feeling through your image very well!
Bob

Anne, This is fantastic shot with brilliant landscape. Lovely colors and lighting. Ganesh

Liebe Anne,
wie schön, die idyllische Stelle Deiner hier oft dokumentierten Sommerwiesen jetzt im spätwinterlichen Frühjahr noch tief verschneit zu sehen. Der viele Schnee sorgt für gute Durchfeuchtung des Bodens. Meinen bergbäuerlichen Tiroler Vorfahren verhiess viel Schnee im Frühjahr stets ein gutes "Wachsjahr" im Sommer, und viel Heu in der Scheune ...
Spuren im Schnee zu sehen, die nicht von Schiern, von Schneeschuhen oder gar von Pistenraupen stammen, sondern ausschließlich von Füchsen und anderen Tieren des Waldes, sind heute eine Seltenheit - besonders schön.
Herzliche Grüße,
Peter

Bonjour Anne
L'endroit est charmant!!!
Sous la neige..., et il doit être extraordinaire aux beaux jours
Merci pour ce petit coin de Suisse
Amicalement
Laurent

Anne, I love this image of a solitary, snow-bound place in the mountains. Reminds me, nostalgically, of home.
Wonderful contrasts in this well captured picture.
Thanks and regards.
