Yesterday, as I was approaching home, after shooting the Mallards on Lake Ontario, the sun was beginning to set and I could see beautiful pink tones were going to develop in the sky. I drove to a nearby farm where a lovely tree sits in a field, knowing is leafless branches would make a wonderful subject against this pink sky. I jumped into the snowy ditch to get a low perspective and ample separation of the trees lowest branches and the field. I waited for the last rays of light, from the sun, to hit the tree and then began shooting a few various compositions. This one is my favorite. Now, if I can just get this tree coated in hoarfrost I’ll be happy!
