good thing I got a good shot, cause I stood out in the freezing cold with my hands purple taking pictures of trees. People probably thought I was nuts! hehe I hope this does well. I usually don't take nature shots, but I am happy with this one.

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure lighting composition focus all good.
Personal: As tempting as it was to me to take a shot like this, I chose not to because I thought it wouldn't be very compelling- and that's how I feel about this image. I'd love to see some more imagination!
I have a real personal envy of this shot, I tried several times to do a similar shot and could not get the lighting right, you managed a very nice warm glow, well done.
