Description
ALSO ON MY NEW CALENDAR!

Raised by Trees • 2016


Here's a souvenir from the winter of southern Brazil.
Every year we get a frosty couple of days.
It's not all sunny beaches y'know

Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Altitude approx. 1400m.

Took advantage of the scene and weather
 to give it a two-dimensional painting/drawing feel.
Enjoy and let me know what you think!


Dedicated to the kind MissLumikki ,
a friend with a warm Siberian heart

This photo is very chiller! *pun intended e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>* But on a serious note, the way this photograph was done is exceptional! It seems very mysterious, but that's what makes it beautiful and the way you brought the tree more into focus than the background just ties everything together and brings some boldness into it. However, what I would have done here was experiment with angles. In this case an angle like this would be fine, but don't be afraid to capture a weird or off angle of your subject (like in this case you could go under the tree and point your camera upward to get a cool shot of the branch systems). If you do that you might just find that it makes your photo even more beautiful and unique, but that aside this photograph really illustrates the beauty of winter and was defiantly well executed, great job!

Thank you so much for taking your time to write this critique, Alice.

You're absolutely right. Looking for other angles is a great option to end up with something different and maybe even better. Unfortunately in this case I couldn't get any closer, it was a private property. I guess I could have tried to sneak in

It was no trouble at all! I think your work is really something! And I've dealt with private property before and don't get me wrong, it's nice to respect property rules, but sometimes what they don't know won't hurt if you just cover your tracks before you leave right (okay i'm no 'big-shot', I follow the rules like 99.9% of the time hahaha), but anyway I look forward to your future uploads! Keep up the amazing work

I don't have the know-how about photography to make a critique, so I'll just make a comment. This photo is so pretty. Snow makes for some beautiful photos and the contrast between colours in so pleasing on the eyes. Old deciduous trees having a feeling on you, they are a work of art from mother nature that captures your imagination. Snow captures your childhood. I dunno. But what I am trying to say is this is beautiful. Amazing job!

Thank you so much!! I agree, snow is somewhat magical everywhere you see it. Here, it's quite rare and so much more magical than anywhere else. People travel from all over the country to see it.

ColferBookEnthusiast In reply to Miguel-Santos [2015-12-28 12:27:49 +0000 UTC]

It was my pleasure! Yeah, Brazil mostly has a tropical climate and it would be only the far South where it could snow; so it's definitely a magical sight.

Is this all just frost, or is there snow, too?
