Another of those 3:30 in the morning shots. Pretty much a 'what-if' shot; as in what if I tried these camera settings or those ones and then fight to get the focus correct once details started to emerge from the darkness. Lighting courtesy of a distant street lamp casting a warm glow on the snow covered ground. Shooting interrupted occasionally by the wayward lights of a passing vehicle. It wouldn't do to be too illuminated at this time of day.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

In my opinion this is a good entry for the focus contest. The courtesy of the street lamp is not to be underestimated by no means ! :)
Snow makes for the pinkish orange tone.
Neat and most pleasant and not too cold which is of some importance these days.

You must be a night person Wendell, I think you did a fine job, I like the background color tones, adds more elements to your image.

Your experimenting paid off nicely Wendell. I too set plans in my mind to awake very early and head into Venice for morning light photos (and no tourists). I always forget to set the alarm!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

There is a real warmth to this despite the little frost on the leaves - a successful experiment Wendell - nice work.
