j'aime beaucoup les moutonnements complémentaires de la neige et des nuages et le rayon de lumière est parfait.

This is almost surreal with that sky and selection of trees lit from such an unusual angle. Seems to very effectively throw perspecive out the window ... and then the skree in the foreground shouts that you are about to fall off the side of a mountain. Well seen, composed and captured!

Gorgeous! Is this HDR? I've got to learn about this technique! :-)

@Tammy, sorta is, it's only 2 exposures. I was shooting hand held with a 3 exposure bracket program, the third exposure was really shaky and blurred. I use Photomatix Pro for HDR generation and tone mapping, just got it a couple of weeks ago. It works to my taste @50% of the time. They brag that you can use it with hand held stuff. In reality, just barely. If you only have lateral and/or vertical shifts between the exposures it works well, but if you have tilt more than a tiny bit, it won't work. Best to use a tripod and no wind or object/people movement. Also, the tone mapping takes a lot of trial and error to learn. I only like it when the "HDR" look is subtle. Definitely fun to play with!!

wish i could see snow like that...

That... is... gorgeous! :)

Beamer, I think you and I have the same preference when working with HDR. I really like the subtle use here. I wouldn't have thought you used that technique for this image which shows you did a great job.

For some reason, the tree in the center darkened by the clouds is distracting and I'm wishing you highlighted the sun lit tree on the left more but then you might not have been able to capture the rocks in the lower right that I really like. I'm a little torn about the composition.

I'd like to see this posted under the new topic of 'weather'. So many elements happening here making this very interesting & appealing. Excellent photo or should I say photos? :)

Very nice composition and color.
