Wasn't really sure what my style is, but then I browsed through my portfolio and realised that trees seem to crop up fairly often one way or another. As I have the most incredible winter scenes going on outside my front door, I figured just one more tree shot wouldn't hurt:) Today it was wonderfully still, but completely foggy, so much so you could barely even distinguish the lake from the shoreline.
The skiers look so small, I'll bet somebody thinks they are sensor dust :)
WOW, a strange week with the score more or less being exactly where it ended up all week. Did not expect a ribbon, so thank you for the kind votes and all the comments and favourites.
ETA. I still cannot believe how many lovely comments I have received. Thanks everyone, they are much appreciated.

I visit this photo when I am homesick - trees like this were a common site making the winter bearable .. now all I see is rain and boring blue skies and a very occasional dramatic sky. I added it to my favorites so I can find it easier .. I have often stared at your work - some of it doesn't score high and that's because I don't think people understand what your stories are about - maybe I don't either but I like to think so. I would like to be able to create such shots as you do. Thank you.
I wondered maybe if this was yours but I wasn't sure because it wasn't totally in black and white lol. Such a beautiful capture. What a mesmerizing scene. Congrats on the yellow!!
Wow, that's a beauty! I wasn't quite sure what to submit... guess I should've taken a leaf from your approach and browsed through my photos (i seem to have clouds cropping up in my pictures quite often)
Having said that, this is a priceless picture. Well done. I think most of the snow around here (London) is gone, else I'd have loved to try that out. Beauty!
Sarah, GREAT shot. Just burst out laughing at your comment "The skiers look so small, I'll bet somebody thinks they are sensor dust".... ;-D
Excellent work, many congrats on your ribbon.
Taking a shot here... salmiakki is this you?
Lovely, delicate white-on-white, and wonderful details in all the right places make this a stunning composition.
Hmmmm.... I think I may have seen these trees before... Perhaps salmiakki?
:-) SO glad this is doing well for you, and I really do love it in color. Odd that we both did the color thing this week, yes?
Oh man! I LOVE this photo! What artistry! It couldn't so much be my "signature style" because we don't have winter here -- but it sure is my style as far as tastes go with the white on white and soft! My favorite so far! 10
