[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Just wanted to share a beautiful result of the terrible ice storm that has passed through much of central USA this week. The effect of the storm in Arlington, TX wasnt too bad compared to other areas, but it got pretty icy during the night. The trees were all covered in ice, almost looking like silver trees in the sunlight. Im from Norway, so Im used to winter, but the ice and the sunlight was an interesting sight.

Hi Torbjorn,

You are in the USA! You must appreciate the longer days with sunlight.
I like the side-lighted tree and your exposure. It creates a nice dark profile of the trunk and branches and at the same time the ice covered tip of the branches are sparkling in the sun. Nice blue BG of the sky too. The road in the FG gives a nice horizontal element that creates a good foundation to the picture.

PC :)

Hello Torbjørn,
A beautiful tree with branches lined with ice!
The side light gives a fine effect, and the contrasty trunk stands out really well against the pleasant sky!

Hi Torbjorn,

Surprising to see a shot from the US from you - hope you're having a nice trip!

Lovely effect, the icy branches (that looks pretty cold!) contrast really well against the blue sky.

Can't quite make my mind up about the road - yes, frames it and gives it depth, but maybe a closer crop concentrating on the icy tree / sky would work too!!

Anyway, nice work. TFS :-)

Hi Torbjorn,
Is this pleasure or business trip to the USA? It will be a great change to put a different scenery in your portfolio.

This is a wonderful capture of the sun shining on the ice covered tree. it is a bit dark at the bottom of the tree, but the light and the sky at the top are wonderful.

TFS and have fun in the states.

Niek

Hi Tjorborn,

I like this capture very much, just beautiful to see those icy trees. The colours are very soft and natural.
And the composition looks excellent.
Have a nice trip in the USA!
