Thank you all for so many beautiful winter scenes. Hard to choose the best, it is always a subjective opinion.
Honorable Mentions:
Arnie - an excellent effect of the lines of trees' trumps and branches
Allen - lovely touch of red amongst the white snow
Carol - nicely composed scene, great sunset light and long shadows on the snow
Gill - I like the vertical view and feel of cold in this beautiful place
Third place - Markus - fantastic composition and inclusion of this lantern light against the sunlight on the snowy mountain range tops
Second place - Luxun54 - amazing colors and forms that make winter so beautiful
First place - Szczepan - a fairy tale snow trees, love the slightly blueish tones. And to think one can see such winter in Australia!
Congratulations and up to you now, Szczepan!
