Nice winter scene, just wish the tire tracks were not there but you can’t always control the scene!

Whew, what an amazing view!

Very nice capture here. Leads the viewers eyes into the unknown. Well composed.

Standard mature subject. Amazing degree of mist!

First snow of the season I have seen here in England. Wonderful shot. Thanks

It’s a nice shot but lacking the wow factor for me. I think a subject in the ally would have made it better. Maybe a child walking away from the camera. I don’t know really, it just needs something extra.

I have to agree with Mark here.It’s a GOOD picture,just kinda bland.

Very nice, it makes me wonder did the photographer make his capture from an existing picture to have such effects

Nice winter landscape but quite common, no wow factor and nothing memorable.

3rd December 2008 at 10:03 am

It is a well worn subject but nicely treated; personally i like it.

Gosh, I think it is a great photo. The tracks
just add interest for me. I love the “Light at
the end of the tunnel.”

I’ve never been to Estonia. Lovely tree-lined road; I’d bet the tracks are from Santa’s truck.

Love the shot! Quite beautiful…and I actually like the tire tracks…they help to establish the path as a road and lead the eye.

Breathtaking!!

This is a nice peaceful scene, and I like it. I’m not a winter person, but snow scenes are beautiful, especially when viewed from indoors!

What an interesting photo, I have a very similar one taken in Poland by a galfriend, must compare the two .,

This picture looks like the scene in “Mullholland Drive” when they shot that guy in the head.

When I saw this picture, I knew right away it was taken in Estonia. There is something special about that area and I could feel it through the picture. Can’t wait to visit Saarenmaa in the winter!

3rd December 2008 at 5:27 pm

I was moved by your image. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Thank you.

Sure! There might be a lot of pictures out there that we have all seen that resemble this one but, Its always nice to know that you didn’t buy yours. You took it. Nice job.

Very nice indeed, looks like purple snow to me

3rd December 2008 at 7:07 pm

It makes me want to follow the tracks & see what’s ahead!

3rd December 2008 at 7:19 pm

Lovely catch. I enjoy every piece of this shot. From the reality of the tire tracks to the sun peeking through the mist up ahead. Lovely!
