Forrest in Norway

I took this picture today (7 december 2008) when I went in the forrest this morning.

Welcome to the forums. It's a little hard to believe that nobody has commented on this shot yet, as it has many very good elements. I really like the color cast, shadows, and general scene. I am not sure about how that branch cuts across (horizontally).. In general this is OK, but it seems very out of place when compared to the rest of the scene. Finally, I think it might be nice to see some footprints at the bottom, but not sure: this would distract from the naturalness of the scene.

You guys have some incredible opportunities there. We almost never get snow. Keep shooting.. I want to see more

I also like the color and even the business as I've seen similar scenes in my own woods tramping. I see a trail of footprints so not sure where GB1 wants them and the horizontal doesn't bother my eye.
Nice shot and welcome to the forums.

Great photo! and welcome to the forum

Nice shot Rasmus!

Warm feeling on a cool day.

As far as the footprints...I'd prefer not to see any. It would be a little more natural and pure IMO.

Nice color, great shot!

I think you did a great job exposing the shot and getting as much detail in the foreground shooting straight at the sun. I do feel it could use another element to set it off, but well done here.

Welcome to our site. I like this very much and think in a strange way the horizontal tree makes the picture. Looking forward to seeing more of your work, Jeff

Great shot, I'd crop a bit on the left to just after the thick tree, I think it would help the horizontal branch. It must be tough to photograph in the snow with the sun out, harsh. S

The star-shine of sun coming through really makes this shot special. I only wish the sky had been a deeper blue, for me, that would have set this off perfectly. Please let us see more of your Norwegian forest soon.
