This is fantastic. The composition and tone are phenomenal. The qualities of a painting.

Thanks to all of you.
To Funnel: it's not a HDR, it's just a simple shot with a very diffused light, thanks to the snow.
I've just retouched levels a little and have used a sharpened mask, once resized the photo.

Greetings.

Frank.

I rarely comment here as well. But this is just so wonderful. Its equally wonderful at any size but looking at it has you saying "whats that over there?" and you look at it in a bit bigger size and find more wonderful things.
