Judges Comment

A solitary tree shot with a difference. It is not easy photographing snowscapes, it is often such an unforgiving subject. Once again here is an example of knowledgable light reading, the soft contrast from a partially cloudy sky combined with the low angled light has brought a lovely soft tone to the snow, ridding the scene of damaging contrast and highlighting the rain made river-lets. It is a well spotted and well taken view, nicer than the unnecessary margin and title which add not to the photo, which could have stood so proudly alone.

Thanks for the award! This picture was taken at the end of December 2011 near the Austrian-German border. I admit the margin is debatable, at the time i finished the postprocessing of that shot, I thought it looked nice. Taste changes, though.... Regards, Oliver
