#2 is fantastic. A photo for a post card or Christmas card. I find the sunlight in #1 too strong as the white is badly blown out. I can bet that these would look even more stunning in overcast conditions. That way the shadowing would be minimal and the snow whites would be less likely to blow out. I must say though, I am enjoying these winter snow scenes. Keep up the good work.Smile

Sit, stay, ok, hold it! Awww, no drooling! :O

Thanx for the comments. Not sure if you ever tried it, but photographing snow is not easy. Snow is bright, white and reflective! I was out late afternoon there, like 30 min before complete sunset, as you can see on the shadows. If you have a second look on the first image, you can see my shadow! Wink

Just a thought janika, instead of having the sun directly behind you and shining on the tree would it help if the sun was at the side (meaning you take the shot from the left or right side of the tree as we see it in the photo.)
It may cut down on the direct light of the sun. (Experts to the rescue please)

I love the way you captured that orange light. That's hard.

Don; The orage-ish light came from the low light/sunset/overcast, I was there at the right time. Wink
