Hi Vincent, This is very eye catching. Lovely bold sky contrasting with the frost. Its such a shame about the uneven polarisation effect...I've found photographing nearer the middle of the day and pointing in the right direction eliminates even at 16mm... but even with this slight flaw its a lovely composition.

This is really beautiful view of winter. I like the tree which contrasts so strong on the dark blue sky. Very fine result of using the polarizer filter. I like it. And even that the tree is centered is quite fine. The focus and exposure are perfect. For my taste simply good picture! Best regards!

Very nice shot. It has been said before but great exposure, sharpness, everything works well with this. Is it in the middle... yes but I think it works well with this, good job using the polerizer I think it helped you out alot. Keep shooting. Cheers.

A good image here Vincent. The composition is very good, simple but effective with good details (the tree) and clarity. A little dark in top left corner (polariser I expect). goood capture and thanks for showing - regards Colin

You have chosen really perfect colors which can be used together to give a peaceful mood... Sharpness and contrast are very well tuned... A little-bit distortion gives a good wide-angle perspective... Nice capture, thanks for sharing...

This is just fantastic. The centered composition works well. Wide angle lens gives a nice bending to the horizon. Well done!

You can almost feel the cold. Snow-covered trees always have an infrared-ish, out-of-this-world-ish quality. The colours are beautiful, as is the light fall-of towards the upper left corner.

Cheers,
Frank.
