Crystaline - a photo on Flickriver

Crystaline

One from a cold day in Sweden that I have been pondering on for a while. I was never quite sure if it held together as a shot in terms of composition. I took it just as we were about to leave in a bit of a hurry. I processed this one pretty delicately to reflect the softness of the scene and the gentle sunset light at 12:30 in the afternoon at -33c.!

I actually struggled here for a few hours and didn't feel I was doing the place justice. This was due to fatigue after shooting the aurora the night before here and all the traveling but mainly the harsh conditions. Freezing breath and filters that frosted instantly, treading on snowshoes, too many pairs of gloves etc... the list could go on. All excuses really, I just couldn't get my eye in.

In the end I am quite happy with the atmosphere this gives. It was stunningly beautiful and I long to see this again. I hope you have a good weekend, and thanks for looking.
