Description Good evening all! Here's another shot I took a few hours ago in Pellinge. It was an amazing sunset, but there was snow and ice now, instead of colourful rocks and waves. PS-work: a bit of saturation, vignetting, dodge & burn tools, frame and title.

Hope you like it though. Comments and critiques are welcomed.

So awesome colours again. You seem to have some kind of a "sunset nose" coz you catch these wonderful sunset photos I was photographing with Jefrma the other day and we also took some photos on the ice, but my photos ain't this good! Though we were there on the afternoon so there wasn't sunset that time of course.

beautiful again, the scenery there is stunning, I quite like the inclusion of the footprints, or depressions in the snow, be they foot prints or not,

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Solkku In reply to wizzoh [2006-02-26 02:56:45 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. The big print in the middle is from a rabbit and the small ones on the lft of them are a mouse's prints.

wizzoh In reply to Solkku [2006-02-26 19:11:29 +0000 UTC]

oh, I love to see animals footprints, in the snow or sand, all of them have so many options for stories to tell, because you dont know when or in what order they were made

Solkku In reply to wizzoh [2006-02-26 21:30:16 +0000 UTC]

I do too. We saw a few mice yesterday, they ran on the snow and then dived into some snow pile.

wizzoh In reply to Solkku [2006-02-27 01:24:37 +0000 UTC]

wow, I've never seen mice in the snow, only squirrles and rabbits

So beautiful! Looks like some little animal got there first and left some tracks.

Solkku In reply to Mydian [2006-02-26 00:21:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. The tracks in the middle are from a rabbit and the ones left to it (very tiny ones) are from a mouse.

ur welcome! the place is really nice... but i guess that depends on the photographer ... if i was the one who took that.. i guess it wouldn't have been that beautiful.

2gama2 In reply to Solkku [2006-02-26 03:50:21 +0000 UTC]

hehe... no seriously, i cant shoot something like that... i dont know if it's the blandness of the sky and scenery here in our country or something... but i think its just me.

Solkku In reply to Szelenbaum [2006-02-25 20:42:26 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. Actually, there was about 30km of driving involved in this photo. And after that about 1km of walking trough the woods to the beach.

Why are you stuck there?
