Beautiful shot!! :-)
Martin Mullen
A superb seasonal image!
Compliments!
Arzu
Breathtaking, what difference the snow makes to this scene, which appears to be an otherwise ordinary place. A great capture, the reflection of the beautiful sky adds to the beauty of this shot. Excellent Work
Travis Easton
Loving your editing and HDR use. It appears you’ve used it simply to restore it to what your eye saw rather than some weird hyper reality thing. Great shot.
Robert Hardy replied
Thanks Travis, yes I try to keep my HDR work as subtle and as close to what I saw as possible.
Charles Dobbs ...

Kasey Lilly

Thanks Peter, I’ll do my best!

Stunning Rob, that’s back to the quality I expect of you, absolutely wonderful composition.
Robert Hardy replied
Cheers Alan…....you mean the ones before were rubbish :-)
gladders
Wonderful image….almost like a painting…..lovely
Ann Garrett
Beautiful composition
Peter Hill
Yes, as Peter Z said, do keep this beautiful art coming, Rob. You have an obligation to do so. I mean, how many of us shutterbugs can go for an early morning stroll before bacon and eggs and capture it so exquisitely? What, me jealous? Noooooooo…. :)
Robert Hardy replied
Peter, LOL, thanks, I’m lucky enough to live close to the Topping :-) Roll out of bed, brisk stroll, home for breakfast, before the world wakes up!
Peter Bellamy
Stunning…

Robert Hardy
Thanks again everyone!
StacyLee
Wow this is gorgeous! I love that sky and the glow of the mountain!
TallGuy
Rob, I mean this is the quality that first drew me to your photo’s.. it’s more like your original scanned shots… it has a wow effect. I think a lot of the stuff done lately has lacked good light for you to work your magic… even though they were good photo’s….. enough crawling…. ;-)
Robert Hardy replied
Alan, I was only kidding. My problem is I only get one day a week to practice my photography so I have to take pot luck with the weather. Unfortunately the English weather has been lousy, very, very lousy. Today the sun smiled (at last) and allowed me something to work with. I’ve given up counting the dreary dawns dawns of late…..at last a result :0)
Sean Farragher
