Hello dear friends,

Yesterday was a dull and rainy day!
But at the end of the afternoon, strong winds from the south raised and blew the clouds revealing a superb light.
Just after, a great rainbow appeared in the sky. I passed the supper's hour to take many shots, blessing the creator to had this idea of a such beautiful planet! See and here


Technically, as usual, Raw photo converted in JPG.
I adjusted the white balance before the conversion.

Thank you for passing by and commenting. Have a great day!

WOW! The WS photos are incredible!! And this one, of course is the BEST! I love your style of photography Annie! You live in such a beautiful place, but your pp work is just amazing. You could make Cut-n-Shoot Texas look pretty! Your details are outstanding here, I love the use of cool and warm colors in this! The cool snow, the warm houses. You get an award for this!

Hi Annie,

As we all know the light makes a landscape photo and you have certainly captured the super light in this image, lovely shades across the sea and sky.

Douglas

Tres belle photo j'aime beaucoup.

Hi Annie,
Again a fine composition, the bright patches in the landscape are striking here, perfect contrast. The sky is quite dramatic, well captured.

Hello Annie
This is a wonderful photo where your personel style shines in all his quality; a superb sharpness and a very good taste composition with a fantastic light control. The dramatic sky is very well captured and adds a fantastic strength to the photo, and his a kind of your moody signature. Wonderful image once more.
And of course fantastic ws also, but this one for me is the more powerful and beautiful.

Excellent landscape image. Congratulations for 100 score.

Bonjour Annie,
Wow, this is a fantastic scene before a rainbow, the snowy environ,ent and the dramatic sky is a good combination, it gives a special mood to your image. I also like the the background part of the small town is enlightened by the sun, while other parts are shades by clouds - typical storm scene. Saturation, sharpness and details are fine on the whole image, congratulatios!
Tous mes compliments, trés jolie presentation!

A lovely sequence, Annie. I'm especially glad you shared the rainbow itself in the workshop. The lighting is superb, and you did a great job showing the dramatic textures of the clouds. You captured a lot of detail here, crisply and with your usual stylish touch.

Thanks for sharing!
