Thanks! It was pretty peaceful. The clouds were rolling in, covering up the sun through thicker and thicker layers, and while I underexposed somewhat to preserve the subtle bands of colors in the sky, I wish the foreground could've been just a little more brightly lit, to show the small pockets of snow still left on the ground. That would've given it a more "wintery feel".
Thanks for sharing this beauty, Gene! It's a lovely scene! It's awesome that you captured the sun in the perfect spot between the tree's silhouetted branches!!
Yep, Dorothy, that was a conscious decision. I wanted to get the sun in that gap between the branches, and wanted to get the right angle and zoom to get that bit of layering in the foreground, too. I've taken some good lessons... :)
And Chris, yep, that was one thing that drew me to this scene, the soft almost pastel-like colors, contrasting with the stark hardness of the tree-branches.
Soooo, everyone, thanks, thanks, thanks, and thanks! :D

Next on my wish-list is a 77mm NDG, I guess... :D
It's nice to take the scene and put it somewhere where others can enjoy it, too!

I'm happily surprised, too, as I thought this'd be one of those "Well, *I* liked it..." shots. :D
Nice to see lots of other people are enjoying it, too!
Now I hope you can stay safe & warm in that blizzard you are experiencing at this time. Happy New Year!
Oops! Forgot..Congrats on this AC
Yeah, stuck at home here, everything's all snowed up. Wheee.
HNY2U2!
And no worries, I'm glad you weren't annoyed with me putting in my 2¢. It just bugs me when people can be so rude like that. :D
