Taken at about 135 deg to the rising sun instead of 180 but this was the only time we saw sunshine either at sunrise or sunset in the last 7 days. Amazing! And this in Melbourne in the fall, usually plenty of sunshine.
There was not much light on the frosted grass so the quality isn't great. I spent hours on PP, still not very good. Pity about the weather.

7.1 at 30. Incredible! If it stayed in this vicinity all my recent hard work would be rewarded!

7.23 at 67. WOW!! I hope it stays there!

7.42 at 100. Amazing but looking at some entries I don't think this will get a ribbon! It should make Top 10 though. A 7 and no ribbon, that will be disappointing!

The score has dropped but still on 7+. I will be very pleased if it does well because it is a very unique photograph - a view at the end of our street. There are only three families in our street and nobody else has ever photographed it!

PS The frost was all gone half an hour later when the grass got full sun.
Just over an hour to turnover. Will it make Top 5??
YEEES, Red Ribbon!! MY FIRST RIBBON!!
Thanks everyone for your comments and messages. I am so happy to get this after a significant change in direction of my photography a few weeks ago.
The 3 PBs in 2 weeks, a 7, and a Ribbon mean that I made the right choice!! :)

So sorry been dealing with weather issues, here in the midwest USA... Just now got to see this challenge finish. Congratualtions on not only your PB but a 2nd Ribbon!!!! Way to go!!!!
Congratulations Margaret, I'm glad to see that your work paid off :-) it's always tricky to mix cold and warm tones in the same picture, very well done.
I JUST LOVE THIS and cannot explain why I think it the softness and the colors AMAZING and it from an AUSSIE as well ADDED it as a favorite definately a favorite from shez
It also reminds me of our Australian early artists/painters (Heidleburg School) when they painted the real Australia using the wonderful and amazing natural light we see here so often in our landscapes... I love it, thank you for submitting this one, and also very pleased it RIBBONED for YOU..... from shez
Thanks, Sherryl! I am not far from Heidelberg and quite often cycle along the Yarra where there are big boards with posters of Heildelberg School paintings in spots where they were originally painted. It is nice although I have to admit that I had to work quite a bit on PP to show off these nice colours! (there is not much light at sunrise)

Beautiful contrasting colours between the sunlight in the trees and the frost on the ground. The mist is just gorgeous. As this is advanced editing I would have spent the time cloning out the power line as this image is worth it. Well done and good luck.
