[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The river is covered with ice, and the tracks from foxes roaming around during night time are criss-crossing in the snow…

February is a good time to experiment with effects from backlight!

In a few weeks snow and ice will be gone, but I admit there are some good photo opportunities during winter too…

Hi Pablo. This is very interesting scene to see on TL, so different to what we have here downunder. The POV and DOF are excellent and the note about fox trails adds interest. Blue skies creeping back which is good to see. Thanks for submitting this. Murray.

Hi Pablo,

Very nice peaceful looking shot my friend, the lighting is brilliant making this river look a little like a glacier grinding its way down a valley.

Great shot

John

Hello Pablo!
Yes, it's a very good experiment with the lighting. The February sun reflection looks so perly in the ice and snow and water - making all the contours sharper. The sky is a good achivement too.
I wish you a good week!
Anton

Hi Pablo,
I like the view of the snaking river and the lighting here. A simple yet beautiful winter scene. Greetings! Danilo

Beautifully handled intensity of reflection over iced surface of the river. High contrast is adding a mystical touch to the surroundings. Winter sky in greyish tone is well advocating the frosty atmo. An excellent imaging Pablo.

Thanks for sharing the beauties of seasons.

The light in this shot is just wonderful. Interesting tracks that can be seen even from this distance. I like the small trees/bushes giving some FG detail. It looks lovely

Hi Pablo,

Impressive lighting, very moody and difficult to capture correctly. But you did a great job, creating a unique lighting effect. Well composed and good sharpness.

Hi Pablo. A lovely image and very cooling. Good detail and sombre colours. Funny you should mention foxes, there had been none in Tasmania until just recently when one was discovered as roadkill. Now the big hunt is on. TFS,

Hola Pablo.
una bella composición,
detalles del invierno,
buen bg. y fg. maravilloso disparo.
saludos amigo.

Funny effect! If it was just of the grey part we would say... boring... But basically that all composition look to me just as a support to balance the both most contrast of totally dark and totally light!
An interesting play of curves...

Hi Pablo,

The tones was exceptionally handled well. Good use of the golden rule. I am back :D my friend, cheers always.

Thanks/Salamat,
Jeffrey

IT'S A VERY PRECISELY: We have the same mood, however without blue sky now :(
Great time to say GOOD BYE to the Winter, Dear friend!

Hi Pablo,
This is a great nature shot. The lighting in superb. I really like the distant view to the snow capped peak. It's hard for me to imagine how cold it would be. Nice one.
Cheers,

Hello Pablo,
Those kinds of pictures are not easy to do and you did great! I love the brilliance on the ice. It looks so cold... This exposure is very good as well as composition and POV. Is it me or the horizon line seems a little tilted to the right? Thanks,
