Winter Light

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge this week is natural light. Featured image is early morning sun on a frosty landscape. Below, the light flooding in the window overexposes the image. Can you see the woodpecker I was trying to capture?

Here the daylight was just perfect to capture the contrast of colours:

Light breaking through the clouds on this very grey Winter day lends an almost Gothic air to the photo.

Love your frosty winter scenes V.J. they remind me of Currier and Ives scenes from Christmases past. I must agree, there is always something to discover!

I really like these studies in light. I do see the woodpecker at the feeder.

  Thanks Liz. My husband won’t go out with his camera unless the light is just right, but I think there is always something to discover.

Cryptic
