Beautiful capture #1, and what also adds to the pic, is the shadows.
Well done. x
Andrew S
Beautiful scene Ding, I’m with Richard, the shadows are an added bonus…...
George Swann
I agree with Richard, Maggie, the strong Sun and shadows are a great contrast to the snow and the feeling of coldness!!
Matt Penfold
You captured it so well that my only advice would be to get the heck out of there and go somewhere warm, brrrrrr :>))

thanks so much matt – when we get this lovely combination of snow sun and blue skies its just so uplifting theres no need to huddle by the fire… Plenty of grey miserable days for that hehhee..
