Annie,
An original - and succesful - take on the theme, and one which certainly adds an extra layer of interest to what might otherwise be a fairly dull view - considering the weather conditions outside.

Regards
Colin

Bonjour Annie,
Je vois que tu dois déménager sur un magnifique site enchanteur sur les hauteurs du St-Laurent, mais il y aura surement un peu de tristesse à quitter notre ancien lieu .. et surtout les arbres qui sont toujours là et que l'on regarde si souvent,,
Magnifique photo qui cadre très bien avec le thème, Excellent cliché

hello Annie,

I understand the nostalia for things you have always known and loved. Still, as you say, your photographs will serve to keep your memories alive.

I like the subdued tones on this shot. That is what it is often like in winter. The trees have a sort of naked beauty. I like the striped effect against which the trees twigs can be viewed.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Fabulous wintery image. I love the way you have the blinds between us and the trees so we don't feel the cold (as if we are indoors with you)

I couldn't quite figure out what the background corrugation was Annie,so your notes were very helpful thank you.
I like the mood of this image,there seems to be a sepia feel to it,also like your drop frame.

Annie,
I really like this picture, the lines created by the blinds are unique. The trees look great and I like how they start to fade in the distance. I hate that winter is coming soon and this will be my view for many months. Nice work Annie.

This is simply lovely! The mood and softness, combined with the monotone color range, all work together well. Great composition. I especially like the effects of the one drooping brance and also the subtle horizontal lines from the blind. The framing compliments the image nicely. Superb work:)

Bonjour Annie,
Beaucoup de douceur dans cette prise de vue. La présence des stores installe une barrière entre nous et l'extérieur, un petit côté inaccessible mais visible. Belle ambiance, merci du partage,
Ivan

Hello Annie,
I see that I've lost beautiful works of yours. I'll be back but I don't resist to tell you that I love the sadness atmosphere you've created here - «chapeaux» (I believe is how you say in french to a great work). Congrats, it's a poem writen with light.

Hello Annie!
Wonderful addition to the theme! The b&w image has that cold aspect and feel of a winter's day, with the bare trees forming a natural frame.T he shades give an interesting aspect to the take, as if it were an image seen from an old television set.
TFS!

La branche en diagonale apporte du rythme à cette merveilleuse composition remplie de nostalgie.
Une photo qui sait capter notre regard par sa beauté , sa simplicité et son intensité expressive.

Ma foi Annie tu nous replonges dans le milieu d'un hiver que j'avais pourtant volontiers oublié ( et quel hiver !) avec cette photo...lol. Certes une image qui convient fort bien au thème du Vendredi , je soupçonne les persiennes comme avant-plan ici ce qui ajoute une touche chaude puisque prise de l'intérieur de la maison ,et j'aime le traitement de cette image qui n'est pas N&B mais qui fait tout de même très 'couleur hivernale'avec son colori naturel ,j'espère que tu retrouveras d'autres arbres sur ta nouvelle propriété qui te rappeleront ceux-ci !
MDP Annie et bon déménagement ,En passant un gros MERCI pour tes bons commentaires sur mes photos ,
je serai absent quatre semaines , il me fera plaisir de te visiter à mon retour ,
Amicalement ,
Carol

The venetian blinds add a welcome abstract effect in this superb b&w image. Good tonal range & moody, wintery lighting. Tfs!

Hello Annie.
A very moody photo, meant in a good way of course, that really does have a wintry feel to it. Part dull and dreary/part warm and cozy.
Interesting and effective composition.
Well done,

I like the effect of the blinds in this one, Annie. And the overall lack of colour, it creates a grim, typical winter mood.
Nicely framed too.

L'effet du store est un plus fort agréable.

Bonjour Annie,
Tiens, tiens, cette photo fait partie du thème du vendredi "natural framing", que j'ai suivi de loin. Un thème qui, à mes yeux, n'a suscité que très peu de photos dignes d'intérêt. Le piège du cliché...
Mais ta photo est une bien heureuse exception qui confirme la règle!
Une photo d'ambiance, sans conteste: on "sent" cette ambiance dedans/dehors, ce lien avec les arbres qui se maintient en dépit des stores. Des âmes bienveillantes qui veillent sur la maison, même quand souffle la tempête...
Bref: excellente idée, parfaitement rendue...
Merci du partage & amicalement,
Erik
