[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo is very different of what I habitually do. I took this one 2 weeks ago. Few days before, we had some freezing rain and landscapes were magic. I was driving in the country, at the end of the day, looking for some landscapes. Then I saw some icy shrubs and I had the idea of taking them with, in the background, the colors of the sunset. I waited till the perfect light.

I hope you like it!
Thanks for viewing and comments.

Cette photo est très différente de ce que je fais habituellement. Elle a été prise il y a 2 semaines. Quelques jours auparavant, nous avions eu du verglas et les paysages, en certains endroits, étaient féériques. Je roulais à la campagne, à la recherche de paysages glacés. C'est alors que j'ai eu l'idée de photographier en gros plan ces petites branches glacées avec, en toile de fond, les lueurs du crépuscule.

Merci pour vos commentaires!

Hi Helene
This is very impressive and creative photography and your patience paid off. Striking images with a high impact. Were you lying down in the snow?
The colours are just beautiful and soft although well saturated. The exposure and lighting is excellent. The composition is very pleasing.
Very good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Helene,
What an amazing photo. The broken light in the ice schrubs are great the sky is so soft and your POV is excellent.

Great lighting and detail, actually very inspiring to try something new.

Hello Helene,
Very creative, I like it. Without scale, you can imagine these to be huge ice cathedrals, behind snow-covered hills ;-)
Very well done.

Composition and lighting are good. Good POV and framing.

Cette composition est tout simplement superbe !!! Un régal pour mes yeux. Bien vu et bien fait ! Compliments Hélène et merci de partager cette beauté.

Hi Helene, this is a delightful shot. I like it alot. It's very well composed and the lighting is very good indeed. I think there is a little blue cast, I've played around in PS and posted it as a WS. I hope you like it.

Hello Helene,

I think you have done an amazing job of capturing this lovely image with its crystal clear icy fingers enshrouding these stems.

The colors, details, POV and exposure are wonderful.

Thank you for sharing it with us!

Bonjour Hélène, En effet, c'est différent des oiseaux. Moi j'aime beaucoup l'arrangement que vous avez réussi. Les couleurs sont intéressantes vous avez attendu en effet le moment parfait pour votre cliché. Bravo ! Donald

Hello Helene,

This photo is fantastic, Great coulors DOF, POV, sharness is excellent. I love thanks for sharing.

Très spécial, la contre plongée lui va très bien. Les couleurs sont superbes.

Le contraste entre le ciel ainsi rosée e le glace ainsi bleu est vraiment bien capturé; mais la transparence des petits branches est parfaite, et emprisonne toutes les lumières du ciel.
Salut, Diana
