 A single tree, found alongside a farm property, a few minutes from where I live. Originally I wanted to redo the Hayfield Tree from some years ago for Single Tree, but cold weather and horrible light nixed that.

Title? Couldn't come up with something clever and witty. I mean that it can take just one shot to make you say, 'That's what I want', pack up and go home. In this case it was more like 30 shots all told, as the light kept changing.

Truly gorgeous winter light. The kind of light that ONLY exists in winter - cold, clean, crisp, with that tinge of pink. 'Tis really a very pretty tree - the simple, centered composition shows it off quite nicely.

I don't know whether the tree is coated in ice or over sharpened, but either way, I like the bright effect.

pretty tree, but im not exactly fond of the tight crop, some room on maybe the right would have opened the scene nicely

The detail in the snow in the foreground is nicely preserved here, good exposure and color balance on an overall rather high key shot
