Yep, Christophe is right, very nice colors. I have to get up early one day, whenever the sun will shine again over here.

Fabulous colours and all that frost on the ground! You seem to be having a very cold winter in the UK this year, but it is bring out some wonderful images.

Great shot Paul. Wonderful colours and a very nice composition. You know how to take landscape shots, and I don't.

Gday Paul...striking photo with the best of early morning colours and contrasts...i dont know whether the lean on the trees on right are natural or by using a wide angle but i think i would have straightened them anyway but its a personal thing

The sky, colors and light handling is awesome, Paul. The comp is simple, but wonderful. If you could straighten the trees a bit it would be superb :)

love the frosty sharp ground and lovely coloured sky !
and yet if there was 1-2 trees less on left side it would be more spectacular imo but there is nothing you can do about it ;)
Best regards

Very nice, I really like the colors!

los valles y los bosques y la humilde flor,

This is a really fine capture taken at a great time.
The subjects you picked are great in my opinion and make terrific silhouettes in this case. They're also well detached from the other trees in the back and therefore make good focal points.
The exposure is also very well handled and you managed to retains excellent colors and very good details in the lower part. In fact it's that lower part with the frosty grass that i'd like to see more of. I think i would have gone for a compo with some more foreground, personally. I'm not strictly suggesting a vertical shot, but one looking a bit lower so that you would incorporate more of that superb texture.
Even so, i still like it and i find it a nice shot. Bravo!
