CONGRATULATIONS JO!!!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!
This is an absolutely stunning image. It has such a feel to it and "mood". LOVE IT!!!
ETA: I love the shadow from the tree. I think it works perfectly well to add "mood" to this shot. Getting rid of the shadow would have focused solely on the tree itself and lent itself to more of a stock shot look. This entire shot, including the shadow has a real feel to it and it's what makes the shot what it is!
Photographers do not live by stock shots alone! ;-)Message edited by author 2009-01-06 11:11:30.

Forget the challenge on this one, go for the icy trees shot. the shadow of the tree is not isolated enough to make it effective. If you had a single tree on a large flat plane, that's a different story

Cold and lovely, though I suspect the cold is IR'd? Still darn cold and nice job shooting into the sun.

Very cool location. I like the way you placed the sun in the frame and it does make an interesting shadow

Love the trees, just not crazy about the centering of the main subject.

Love the way the frosted tree is brilliantly lit with the rest in relative darkness. Great shot. 9
