This shot was taken on the beautiful river Tohmajoki in Republic of Karelia at the North of Russia in February 2018. It was absolutely unexpected, because the weather was so cloudy all day long without any light on the sky. We've made some shots of snowy forest, trees and etc. They were lovely but not enough. We tried to search more interesting location. Without sun light it was not easy. But when we appeared near the river magic on the sky happen! For a few minutes forest was covered by the very beautiful light and the sky magically reflected on the water...
Nik,
This is beautiful. I've never been to Russia, but I must put it on my list.

Thank you Sid. This place is near Finland, so the nature is almost the same. Anyway you are welcome! :)
You have my complement, very well composed and balanced. DON'T change a thing as this would destroy the image integrity.
Edit:
A scene right out of Doctor Zhivago
FYI: Connected with you on Flickr.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it :)

My lone comment is this; print it! :-)

i can't wait to photograph winter scenes ...great job anything i would do would be minimal this is a really nice shot
Thank you Joseph! Me too, winter is very beautiful season to take pictures :)
For me it's too strong vignetting... But anyway looks great! :)))
yeah its definitely a personal preference i just like that it helps highlight a main target for the eye to go to
I've noticed you like more moody pictures :)
i do they have a certain drama to me.. maybe I'm a depressive person haha
