All we dream about this kind of picture to make somewhere. Just white snow without any detail, gray sky, 2 empty trees and figure of man. Bravo. You had lucky. Thank you for sharing such a good image. It is so clean, clear in its idea, and for me is school example of beauty of simplicity. It is calm but full of dynamic and energy. Bravo.
Marei  Dragan, You made my day. :-)
Thank You so much for Your wonderful words. I am so glad You like it. Many many thanks.
I wish You a wonderful day and a great weekend.
All my best wishes, Marei

I love this image Marei, and how the person is juxtaposed against the trees. Love the hint of background trees you are lettiing us see through the atmosphere. I also think you did a great job on the white balance, it is not easy with and composition like this which the camera loves to push to gray. Nice eye.
Marei  Thank You so much for Your wonderful comment, Doug.
