Thanks Hugh, John and Fons for stopping by and commenting, really appreciated!

Yeah, this time was special. I mean the weather, not necessarily my "treatment" of it  ;D

The lone tree shot is very nice!,
I would recommend a crop to the bottom to have less grass, I would suggest to have same amount and grass above and below the tree at the root.

Thanks for look-seeing and the nice suggestion Erik, i appreciate that very much.

I'll have to give the crop suggestion a go in my editing software, i usually crop by feel and this felt good to me.

It's been a minute, but since the last series of photos i've switched to mainly shooting film (the analog stuff). So, while i do go back regularly, i don't shoot as many photos anymore here.

Here is one from quite recent (beginning of February) during a hoar frosty and foggy sunrise. This is my favourite and most photographed tree in this little nature area.

4x5 Kodak Portra 160, 210mm @ F/32.

Hans, I have always enjoyed your Cartierheide images and this one is no exception. 

I think that Erik has summed up the image correctly.

Thanks alot Fons, Hugh and John.

Don't blame the photographer  ;D ;D. I just showed up to this beautiful scene covered in hoar frost with the haze/fog in the air and did the large format dance, went home and developed and scanned the negative. The star here is mother nature and kodak portra 160  8) 8)

I appreciate your comments very much!

The reason i used the 210mm lens (roughly 65-ish mm on FF) is that otherwise i had to walk through the frosted grass. I didn't want to do that and stayed on the walking path.

Thanks much!
