Amazing, just amazing! I feel cold just looking at this shot. A scene like this is difficult to expose for, but you did an excellent job. The only thing I would change is maybe crop off a bit of the right side of the image to remove those two branches from the shot leaving only the leading line of fence and trees taking the viewer's eye to the picturesque darker tree off in the distance.

Thanks for the feedback! In fact the 2 branches at the right are wires of a fence, but I agree it's quite distracting... I can feel the cold too, I remember my fingers were frozen while taking this picture^^

Np, thanks for post that image. It makes me want to get out and take pictures even when it's too cold out.

 This is perfect!!!!
How many degrees did at the time of photo?
Here in Brazil it is summer, and the thermometers reach 50 degrees, it looks a hell, and is torturous stay indoors. It is hot all year round here, but in summer it becomes a real hell on earth. So wanted a little cold. -rs

I was -5°C. A real, cold winter! I never saw anything like that, it was all frozen!
I know when it's very hot you want a little cold. 50 degrees, that must be hell indeed! Do you have a beach near?^^

RafaelGiovannini In reply to ArtClem [2015-01-10 14:55:52 +0000 UTC]

wow, -5ºc?!
that envy
No, I live in a remote area in a very high hill which I have to go down and up whenever I need to go to town. It's almost like a slum and it takes about 2 hours walk to get anywhere in the city.

But I do not like beaches, Brazilian beaches are not these wonders no, believe me. It has a lot of pollution, dirt, little space and assaults. xD

I wish we have more snow here, when it's -5°C it's always sunny^^ But it's a beautiful area indeed... 
Indeed all beaches in brazil must not be like the copacabana in Rio! I have a question a lot of people here think about: isn't it weird to celebrate Christmas in winter?

The Brazil is huge, i could never go to Rio de Janeiro, in fact there are beautiful beaches in Brazil, but not all are, about 2/3 of the Brazilian beaches are ugly, dirty and crowded.

The US launches fashion, since it is the country que dominates the world, with its language, all that is done there is quickly copied by the world, and the US snows, it created the idea que Christmas has to be with snow, to build ice dolls, play war snowballs and decorate the natural pine.

I do not celebrate Christmas, but to my knowledge on December 25 made more than 45 ° C with thermal senssassão of 56 ° C

At That Time, Those who have money, frequently travel abroad pro (usa, canada, england) or, Usually exchange gifts and drink a lot of beer and eat barbecue.

Brazil is a varied country, while in the Southeast are 50 ° C in the south reaches to -12 ° C in midsummer, in the south of the Brazil have snow.

It was good if temperature lowered at least about 10 degrees.
For someone used to 50ºC, when does 32 degrees in the winter cold we feel, is very good!

That's very interesting. Personally I can't imagine Christmas without the snow, the chimney fire, the santa wearing gloves and fur coat... I don't think the US launched this fashion, Christmas was always celebrated in winter in Europe, long before the Americas were discovered.

Brazil is a huge country indeed, a lot bigger than France^^ In which area do you live? (just curious, but I find it very interesting to know where are the other deviants I talk to^^)

Yeah, so most do not celebrate Christmas, you know, we have the highest taxes in the world, contrary to what many talk around, the Brazilian people is not one of the most cheerful and happy people in the world, and all this thanks to government and high temperatures.

It's impossible to be happy, when at Christmas, are going commercial products and encouraging trade that most here can not afford. You know, with the amount paid on a smartphone here for example, we can buy the 3 equal in the US.

The Brazil wants to imitate the US in much, and wants us to be consumers, but not lower the taxes, so there is no financial position to decorate the house, buy gifts, etc. The only thing that it's cheap here is the beer and the cachaça. So most peoples drinking at Christmas.

I live in the southeast, in the state of Espírito Santo, one of the more "rich" in the country, but only for the rich pockets of the rulers, for here we not see some investment.

And you, in which area of the France do you live?

That is sad, everywhere the gap between the poorest and the richest is increasing... Brazil has a very important growth rate but it must leaves a lot of people far behind unfortunately. I'm from the region Pays de la Loire, a beautiful area full of history^^

this is fact, the Brazil is a good country, but not good for the your population.
What history for example? I love France and her histories !!!
You live in a beautiful country!

ps: sorry for the delay

I love that old look the villages here still have today, slates roofs, castles of course (Chateaux de la Loire), Gothic cathedrals, bell towers emerging from wheat fields^^ In those times of globalization, that's something I don't want to lose...

Here is not beautiful like this, not even -rs
(is very ugly indeed, not history, this is not a cool location, just barely finished houses and a lot of garbage in the streets)
