Visions and Nature Image: Like a frame, editors pick

NatureScapes.NET Landscape Gallery : Editors Pick
Like a frame
Since the new website layout from Naturescapes.NET the editors no longer announce a image of the week per gallery but choose a Editors Pick.
I am happy to see that my personal favorite from the last photo session, trees in winter, is chosen by editors.
Some feedback so far:
- I like using trees as a frame too. And this is a particularly nice one.
- Beautiful composition, Kristel. The tree has a powerfully earthy—almost sensuous—aspect that might make periodic revisits worthwhile.
- Fantastic!! This is gorgeous!!
- Very nice Kristel! A unique and interesting composition, love the detail!
- Beautiful bit of art Kristal — love the composition.
Trees in the winter

Trees in the winter
by Kristel Schneider
” Snow, chaos and trees”
Comparing earlier winters I experienced in the Auvergne, I can say this year was mild so far. Last year I bought my own set of snow rackets but because of the lack of snow in my area I decided yesterday to look for some white powder higher up in the mountains.

Readers who visit this blog more often know how much I love trees and one of the things I always wanted to do was walking on snow rackets in the forest. So together with photographer Cyril Coudert (partner from Massifs Centraux) I planned a photo day in the Sancy area (Auvergne, France).
Kristel by Cyril Coudert
Destination: Vallée de la Fontaine Salée | Chastreix-Sancy (1299m), the weather forecast was not that great but in the mountains it can change very fast so we gave it a try. Knowing that I had to walk for the first time on these snow rackets I decided to empty my camera bag. Camera body and only two lenses, the canon 24-105 and the canon 300 mm and my lunchbox + tripod. Already missing my my 70-200mm lens, my favorite ‘brick’ .
After walking for a while I was so happy with my earlier decision (LOL).
The tree branches had just enough snow to give it that little extra you like to see in your images. The view leaves gave a little touch of color in the brown/grey scenery.
The challenge was to find a nice composition amongst the chaos.
Hopefully next month the snow will return so that I can experiment some more in the winter forest. For more images click here
