This is an image dating back a couple of weeks, before the big snowfall…

Typical here is the dull light and muted colours, January in my place happens in black and white!

This weekend we have great winter weather… plenty snow, -7C and light clouds that probably will give sunshine later!

Hi Pablo,

Excellent mood and very strong composition! The photo gives the feeling of being alone (with just the tree and the shack) in the vast expanse of snow. I like the muted colours and tones too. TFS

Allan

Hi Pablo

This is a beautiful shot! I love the composition and the exposure is spot on. Awesome work. :-)

Hi Pablo,

This photo is awesome! I love the mood portrayed on it and the composition is striking! Perfect use of the rule of thirds and threes by putting the house on the lower left of the frame and also by putting the horizon on the bottom thirds of the frame.

Thanks for sharing! :)

Hello Pablo,
This is a nice winter scene almost B&W with just small tint of colors as we are used to see it. I like the details in the sky and the small tint on this old barn. The inclusion of the tree balance very well the composition.

Nice graphism of the gaunt apparently dead tree against the lighter snow & sky. I like the subtle color contrast of the old red brown shed against the faint blues of the sky too. Tfs!

Hi Pablo!
So you have some winter, anyway. -7 is quite cold... Your Nikon proves how beautiful are photos, when we do not run after the many megapixels - no noise in the cloudy sky, no color fringes around the dark branches against the brightness of the sky. A very well held expo in difficult light condition!
Thanks a lot for the lesson!
Anton

A great winter landscape composition. A typical cloudy grey winter sky. Yes the colors are muted, but it looks just like it should on this type of day. A classic shot!

Hi Pablo,
I love these winter scenes. This is an excellent photograph with excellent balance, great lighting (despite being "dull" as you said) with brilliant details. The composition is what wins it for me though, excellent work. Cheers, Todd

Hi Pablo,

Fantastic mood captured, the POV very well thought, making your composition quite dynamic! The low key lighting and colors are great!
TFS,
Vassilis

Hi Pablo,
This is really wonderful. The mood in this photo is just outstanding. I love the clean composition with the single tree and the old barn. The muted light and the dull light really helped to create the perfect mood. This is really something special and that is why I need to add it to my fav's

Hi Pablo. Good winter scene. -7C is something we don't see too often in this part of the world. Good crisp and clear photo with good colours considering the weather. Well constructed with the shed to one side. Murray.

Hi Pablo,

The one that I can say before this beautiful one visual, that is fantastic, I look and I see if that is real. As we have beautiful things in this big world that at the same time becomes small.
Wonderful composition, beautiful visual!
Congratulations

Hi Pablo,

Nice one. Lighting is dull and so, giving a kind of gloomy mood. Snow is spread-over all the place. I have never seen snow like this. Well composed. TFS.

Un precioso paisaje, con una "casita" como la que pintábamos en nuestra infancia, en el colegio. De madera, techo a dos aguas y un árbol un tanto triste porque no tiene hojas pero que tendrá tiempos mejores.
Técnicamente es una imagen preciosa, equilibrada. Los colores son fabulosos así como la luz.

Hello David, I like your monthly mood series, you should open a theme and we could participate in it :)

Great composition with the barn on the side and yes we get the feel of January in Norway :)
And I like that mood a lot.

Well captured! Take care, Yan!

Ps: many thx for your review in "Golden Retriever Playing in the Snow". It's really appreciated :)

Wa amazing Pablo, how it similar to Russia!!!!

Well done, Dear friend :)

Malik & Mary.

Nice and crispy shot, Pablo. Glad to be back and seeing your nice shots.

Best regards,

Hello Pablo !

Your landscapes really look familiar with ours. I would not feel homesick visiting Norway (^_^).

Cool composition with this barn and trees. I wonder if there is a road at the far right. As all the branches on the right side are missing up to about 4.5 to 5 meters high ?

Cheers!
Robert

Like the soft winter tones and light
Ruud

pablo,
subdued light brings out the mood in this shot very well. you have managed to capture the details and colors very well too. like the placement of the tree on the right.

wow pablo ! we can feel the cold from this picture and it freezes us to see the pic ! its great ! the objects are so well placed, like in ur te gallery ! i love it

Thank Goodness the cold is over, and that spring is here!
Very nice and strong winter scene. Colours in the barn are pleasant against the cold gray snowy BG. Nicely captured and presented.

We are very tempted to take a plane and go up north for a few days - must be great even with the B&W feeling - you never now what glorious weather you will be getting.
The atmosphere is truly wonderful.

Woa... It's a question of time.. Perhaps everything is already fall down now! I really enjoy here the age of that old building and the little sad feeling emerge from the sky. But in the same time, the light of the sky, is perfect to my taste!

This is the most balanced shot thet i have seen.
simply SPECIAL
bEAUTIFUL CAPTURE.

Hello Pablo. I can imagine the loneliness of being there in January. Well balanced capture with the barn and tree hitting the sweet spot. The hilly backdrop is beautiful in this moody dreamy shot. Well done and thanks for sharing. Jusni
