[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Nothofagus antarctica (Antarctic Beech; in Spanish Ñire), is a deciduous tree or shrub native to southern Chile and Argentina from about 36°S latitude south to Tierra del Fuego. It grows mainly in the diminishing temperate rainforests.

It typically grows 10-25 m tall and has a slender trunk with attractive scaly bark. The leaves are simple and alternate, growing 2-4.5 cm long, and often viscid, with a sweetly scented wax. The leaf color is medium green, becoming yellow to orange in the fall. They are broadly ovate to triangular, crinkly, rounded at the tips, irregularly and minutely toothed. The flowers are inconspicuous yellow-green catkins. The fruit is a 6 mm, very fragrant 4-valved capsule containing three small nuts.

Nothofagus moorei, found in Australia, is also referred to as "Antarctic Beech".

Excellent. An eerie wood with a majestic backdrop. Warm light makes this a keeper! BR Klaus

Salut Mircea

O poza ceva mai putin caracteristica tie, dar foarte frumoasa totodata.
Lumina relativ difuza si foarte joasa aici ti-a dat un contrst foarte bun pe parcursul intregii imagini si de asemenea a conferit o saturatie excelenta tuturor culorilor.
Compozitia a superba cu forate bune detalii atat in plan apropiat (unde reflecxiile splendide domina scena) cat si in plan indepartat - acolo unde acel varf partial acoperit de un nor arata excelent.

Bravo si TFS
Horia

Hi Mircea,
Stunning landscape!
The view of all that leafless trees is very impressive, in a row, that creates a great contrast against the snowy mountains at the back.
I like very much you composition here, the reflections on the water, the blue sky, and that colour palette.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM
