Kuja

Well, I have no clue about photography and manipulation, therefore I'll just go with my eye and knowledge from my drafting/drawing skills.
Vision: That's one of the things that immediately caught my eye. The fact that you managed to capture the crowns as well as the path in one of those trees closest makes a huge difference and makes the shot special for me, the hight of the shot and having both those elements in it, captures the scenery truly well. The horizon also is at the right place, making the whole thing come to live even within it's frozen-ness.
Originality: Well, the motive itself might not be the most original seen, but the way you played with colours definitely a great thing. I always find photography hard to judge concerned originality, to be honest.
Technique and Impact: I like how the almost monochrome appearance of the lower half of the picture gets broken up by, soft, to very bright blue. It makes the appearance somewhat unreal and magical to me. It also brings out the almost ice-crystal like appearance of the leafs.
At first I thought you used a filter to get that painted look on those leafs, I'm not sure, the branches and trunks, as well as the grass look too detailed and realistic for that. I like the effect though, It all gives it such a magical look. Also, what I like especially is that even though the light isn't flooding the picture but rather illuminating it, if that is understandable. It gives it depth and variety.
Together with the vision I think the impact is very intense and captures the fragile nature of frost, as well as the quiet strength of the trees.
So yeah, besides that I really like the motive, frost and kuja(learned that new word<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>) I think you did very well with that pic. While I broke up my thoughts into themes of Vision, Technique and so on, please think of them as interconnected.
Thank you for sharing this! Kiitos Paljon
