Most people would be happy to achieve this in a studio but to do so in the field on a very cold day is exceptionally well done. I like the combination of colours, the reddish hue of the Willow bark, the golden yellow of the grass and the clear crisp blue of the water which draws the eye in. It looks like the grass and river have been given greater definition whilst their colours are contrasted by the woodland on either side. I think that Willow trees in particular and at any time of year, are very good subject matter for landscape artists.<BR/><BR/>The photograph of the "Turkey Vulture" shows perfectly it's wing formation translucently silhouetted against the sky.camulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320877761725995655noreply@blogger.com
