[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is an unusual scenery for Australia, the flattest continent on Earth. Record amount of snow fall has provided plenty of fun for people who love snow.. I have taken this shot at Mount Selwyn, one of the three snow fields in NSW. This place is in Kosciuszko National Park, approximately 450Km from Sydney.

I hope this will provide some cool viewing for all of you having hot weather in the northern hemisphere.

I have posted another shot of the same composition to the WS which is without the direct sunlight in lens ;)

Hi Alaettin, I haven't been to this particular peak but what always amzed/amused me was seeing the gum trees and the snow. A lovely image, well composed and lovely shadow and light. 4 lifts now operational on Ben Lomond and the promise of more snow to come. TFS,
David

Hi Alaettin,
What a beautiful sight.. almost surreal with the snow up against the trees and the blue sky behind it.
The light is good, but the reflection in the lens makes a part of the tree look green (right above the sun).. Maybe some PS-work would be appropriate there. But overall: nice presentation!
TFS, Darlene

Hello, Alaettin!
You are quite right, this view gives me a little colder feeling during tropical summer that now is in Poland. And by the way, Kosciuszko was born in Poland but unfortunately he has never visited to Australia! Beautiful photo!
Tadeusz

Really a great shot alaettin, nice POV colors and details r perfect. TFS this esplendid landscape

TasmaniaC,

inanılmaz bir manzara, çook güzel. Yalnız güneşin üzerinde olan ve ağacın ana dalın üzerinde merceğe takılan yeşil şeyi çözemedim.
Her zaman kart postal görünümlü çekimler ilgimi çekmiştir. Biz burada kavruluyor iken bu muhteşem çekime bakarak bir nebze karlı, ayaz kış günlerin özlemini giderelim bakalım..
Tekrar tebrikler.

Güzel kal

Hi there!

Great capture!

Well.. I have to said that it is not that hot over here at all...:P as you know is flooded in a lot of places, apperently the water level is still raising up tonite..:( not where I am thou.

Anyway, about your photos, I like your pov, great "silhouette", I like the rays shinning through, which is really nice.. great sharpness and colours, well captured, tfs

Cheers,
Sweety

Hi Alaettin,
A lovely shot of the snow and trees with a strong blue sky in the background. Perhaps if you had stood a fraction to the right and partially blocked the sun it would have diffused the brightness a little - certainly a very attractive shot
well done
Jack

bu sıcaklarda bardağımdaki buz gibi, iyi geldi karı görmek.......tfs :-)

Hi Alaettin

The scenery and wonderful, the trees give a beauty show in this white landscape of wonderful blue sky. Just a small loss in this green one that was in the stem of the it hoists, probably reflex of the sun in his lens.
But it didn't remove the beauty of this landscape!
Congratulations

Hi Alettin,

Hello Alaettin, this is great. I really like the composition adn youve managed to create a very good scene. Nice work on the exposure. My only minor point would be to do something about the green (lens flare?) on the tree trunk. Apart from that it's fantastic! Well done.

Ooops, just seen the WS. Looks better!

Oh for a bit of snow to relieve the 40+ temps here!

I like the direct sunlight in this shot and you've controlled the exposure well in difficult light conditions. The play of light, shadow and colour is just right.

Thanks for sharing

Andrew

Hello Alaettin. To be honest I find the workshop picture better than the original. I think the sun filtering through the branches is a little distracting and creates some green reflections. I do like it but is not as interesting as the workshop. The colour of the sky is nice but I think the snow is a bit underexposed. Cheers :-)

Wow. Shooting against the sun can be tricky, but all I see and don't really like is the green flare on the tree, on the left above the sun - Darlene took care of that in her WS. I like everything else. Excellent control of the light, Alaettin. I prefer this version over your ws version, even with the flare.

Hi Alaettin

Merhaba Türçe bildiğini sonradan anladım.
Güzel Ülkemizden Selamlarımı iletirim.

Another beautiful aspect of winter in Australia with the unique combination (I believe) of eucalyptus trees in snow. Good POV from below - it increases the majestic appearance of the trees against the sun and blue sky. Well done. TFS! - Cheers, Cordelia :) :)

Hi Alaettin.
Beautiful image photo.
Ralf

This is like the enchanted forest Alaettin. Lovely shot in this winter scene.

Regards Mark :)

Hello Alaettin,
very cool shot ! I like the way you used the backlighting - resulting in very nicely looking and placed shadows.

Well done !
Best regards, Daniel

Like this shot, snow and blue sky is the perfect match.

Hope to go skying over there one day

TFS

Hi Alaettin,
beautiful composition with silhouettes of trees in the vivid light that create an amazing game of shadows and coulors.
I like it!
Ciao, Cinzia
