Description
An Enchanted WinterI always wanted a shot like this and actually I was able to get a few of them! As odd as it may sound, scenes like this have always escaped me, why I am none to sure but they sure have! Captured on top of the Sandia Mountains outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, on a very fresh winter morning the day after fresh snowfall. The air was crisp, so clean, so pure, and when I saw this I immediately said "Yes! That's it! That's the shot I have always wanted" and start just shooting away.
I always envisioned this shot, along with the others, being used on greeting cards, postcards, calendars, and that sort of thing, I suppose it just has that kind of look & feel to me. So that being said, I will make them to be purchased as such. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

This is amazing, John.
It's perfectly crisp. I love the snow coating the trees. It reminds me of icing.
Excellent shot.

Really nice at first look, then I feel having the road in the image does balance the shape and framing, but it becomes distracting. I think it may be better with the road cropped out.
But man, the colours and the scene are exquisite to sense.

Hey thanks, though I would have to disagree, especially considering that I have one without the road already lol This is more of a travel photography image, however DA doesn't have a category for that
