This seems dark and menacing, bleak. I see a man's face in the 3rd tree from the left. He has a mustache.
Am I observant or construing an image that is not really there.

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
I like this very much, Lorraine ... the split-rail fence and a bit of natural grass, then the snow-covered boughs of the evergreen!

@Judy: I love that you really look at it, thanks always Judy ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
The enchanted forest, all I need to hear are sleigh bells. A beautiful scene Lorraine. I miss the smell of pine in the crisp air. You can spot me here when at a store standing in front of the Christmas trees for sale, taking in a deep breath with my eyes closed.

Koushiro~光子郎 from Singapore, Singapore
Beautiful snow! I just love evergreens covered in that white, soft stuff! But it seems a little underexposed? Oh and by the way, I'll be posting my holiday photos soon ^_^ Going home tomorrow! Only thing is, I didn't bring my camera so most photos will be from my brother and my dad XD Some are mine though ^_^

Roman from Thunder Bay, Canada
Ha, great shot Lorraine and very familiar. Reminds me of times when we were going out into the bush to get our Christmas tree. I really like the composition with the cedar post in front but the wires are a bit distracting...
cheer

@Roman: Thanks a lot Roman, wires, such a eyesore...

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Beautiful winter scene and really so lifelike when the sun isn't shining. A wonderful capture Lorraine. Makes you want to snuggle down beside a nice fireplace and read a book whilst sipping on a nice hot drink. Timmy's anyone??
3 Dec 2008 4:06pm
@Marion: Oh Girl, I'm with you there ;) thanks so much!
marianne from Toulouse, from France, France
Peux tu aller chercher les décorations pour le sapin ?
Il manque les guirlandes et l'étoile tout en haut ...
et je verrais bien le traîneau du Père Noël aussi ...
et des chiens qui courraient dans la neige fraîche ...
et voilà où tes photos m'emmènent ... je dérive un peu, mais je suis si bien dans ma barque ...
3 Dec 2008 4:43pm
@marianne: LOL merci Marianne, ton enthousiasme est merveilleux ;)

Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
It is a dark foreboding shot. I think the storm clouds are gathering.
3 Dec 2008 6:35pm
@Michael Rawluk: It never never as foreboding as it seems Michael ;)

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
The winter is drawing in, the woods look really silent, except for the fall of snow. Nice shot, but it does look mighty foreboding to us soft island folk, (our whole country falls apart with half an inch of snow...LOL)
3 Dec 2008 9:28pm
@Richard_Irwin: That's so funny Richard, wuss lol ;) I appreciate your beautiful comment!

Ross Collins from Wellington, New Zealand
Excellent landscape. Have you considered removing (digitally!) the power line and post?
4 Dec 2008 6:46am
@Ross Collins: Oh Ross, Have I ever, problem is I live in the city, constantly removing the lines would take so much time, I wouldn't have time to take photos. Quality over Quantity? mmm well I love post-processing photos as much as taking them, but then again, they'll turn out so changed they'll miss out on some authenticity. Sometimes though a photo calls for it and then I do, thanks a lot!
Cheryl from Texas, United States
