[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
What started out on Monday as a bad day with freezing rain turned into a winter wonder land. By Tuesday the sun was out and turned nature into a glass world.
This fragile beauty can be dangorous, accumulations of ice can increase the branch weight of trees by 30 times or greater. If high storm winds are combined with the ice loading, the damage to trees and infrastructure will increase.

Hi Sky,
A beautiful image...very attractive to the eye.Not an easy exposure with all that glistening ice but you have handled it well.A lovel backdrop of the blue sky.I read about previous ice-storms in Canada....they can be very destructive as well as very beautiful.
Well done and take care.
Regards, david

hi sky!
very beautiful photo with
great lightning and fine
with the ice on the trees
fine composition

Hi Sky,
An excellent picture! Really looks like all is made of glass. A landscape inusual to me that I want to visit, but only few hours, cold surely is terrible and I´m not adapted to such conditions.
Greetings
Hernán

Hi again, Sky! Your wonderful "chandelier" picture of yesterday inspired me to go back out today and look into the weedy capsules to see what I could find--what a marvellous treat! If you don't mind, I took a few I would like to post, with all due credit to you for giving me the idea. Hasn't this been a beautiful couple of days? Your picture here has surely captured what we've been lucky enough to see. Lovely! Thanks again, Linda

Hola Sky, que maravilloso trabajo, bellos tonos y maravillosa luz, una composición agradable, saludos

BELLE PHOTO de ces arbres gelés, chez nous, on ne les vois pas si gelés. Amitiés Thomas

Hello Sky
A beautiful capture of Mother Nature art. The trees and grass look like crystal as they glow in the sun. Hopefully you don't get very strong winds in the next few day. Thanks for sharing this winter splendor landscape.

This is gorgeous! It definitely gets the winter wonderland award. It looks as though it were all made of silver. Well captured Sky. :

Hi Sky, now that's the kind of scenery I've been missing. You've done an excellent job with very good exposure, picking up the sun's reflection. It kind of reminds me of the storm of '98. In fact this almost looks like the field behind our place back then. I'm getting a nostalgia attack. Am I dating myself here?

Thanks, John

hi sky,

well composed with fine pov, lovely natural colours,

Hello Sky

A beautiful natural crystal.The composition is very nice,with the encased trees and grass sparkling against the lovely blue sky with puffy clouds.Excellent POV and well focused.TFS

Rob

Yes, right up there with the best.
well done.

Hello Sky,
Nice use of the principle of three in this great backlight capture!
The ice has some amazing qualities when it comes to affect light, and you make very well use of them!
Greetings,
Pablo -

This is an interesting shot Sky. I like the trees a lot. I do find the OE/clipped clouds a bit distracting. I know what you mean about the damage the ice can do. When we had such a storm it sounded like we were in a war zone with the branches and whole trees snapping and falling.

Hi Sky,
You caught this scene perfectly with the backlight to really make the ice shine like crystal. Beautiful against that blue sky. Great composition and detail. We dodged the last icestorm, but got hit hard several weeks ago. This looks great!

This is truely sunning!
You have entered a fairy-tale world, Sky, and you don't know it :)
What an amazing capture!
I never had the chance to see something like this live, but i would sure love to see such an outcome.
Your photo here is unique, original and very artistical.
The contrast between the bright reflections of the ice and the bark and branches of the tress is gorgeous and all of them with that splendid blue sky in the BG looks fantastic.
Nothing more to add really...delighting composition!

BRAVO and TFS
Horia

Hi Sky,
Art created by nature! Such a beauty. This is surely a magnificent sight and you captured it perfectly. The glassy look of the tree are perfectly captured. The sun really made the trees shine.

Hallo Sky,
zauberhafte lichtdurchflutete Winterlandschaft.
Durch den breiten Rahmen fehlt es diesem feinen und detailreichen Bild ein wenig an Auflösung. Für optimale Präsentation dieses schönen Fotos erschiene mir die Ausnutzung der vollen Bildbreite von 800 pixel angebracht.
Auch bei uns herrschen Wetterkapriolen. Ein Orkan zog dieser Tage Spuren der Verwüstung quer durch Mitteleuropa.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter

Hi, Sky.
Nice winter shot. Well composed. Looks like fairytale landscape.
