Winter landscapes

davidh

Attached are 2 NPR winter landcapes with 2 different lighting conditions.
The buildings are different in each case but the winter trees are the same.
I wanted to use a lot of colour for the first one with vivid blues,reds,oranges and purples. and a strong glare caused by low evening winter sun.
The second is much more subdued and still.
As with most of my landscape images,the only movement is by the birds,which are placed far back in the image to help convey the idea that there is a larger world beyond what the images show.
