Hello, Jose. Welcome to our forum.
We look forward to seeing many of your photographs.
What camera are you using? I was unable to tell from the photo’s details.

These trees are most unusual. Do you know the species?
And the frozen lake… Very nice. I particularly like the one with the boat.
I can feel how cold the seated couple must be as they watch the people on the ice.

jaydev…. Yes the one person does look very much like the bowler in a cricket game.
I doubt that they would be playing cricket on the ice, but one never knows.

fotos-jose
Nice pics. My guess is a Nikon @ about 35mm. I’m guessing
Nikon by the saturation of greens and blues and dynamic range.
Strange swirls in the last pic – any manipulation on this one in
Lightroom?
Welcome to our group and looking forward to viewing more pics
from you.

Hello again,
thanks for the feeback.
I’m using a Canon EOS 600D
people on the third pic are playing Ice stock, as you can see better on this new pic
@nikonguy: there is no manipulation at all, I don’t know why the ice form the swirls, maybe due to the plants on the groundIMG_0184.jpg

I like the third pic as well but i would just increase the contrast a little bit while post processing to highlight the sun’s rays…

Nice pictures, fotos-jose. I actually like the second photo. It kind of reminds me a couple – right tree is a male, left is the female, lol.
Photo of the people playing Ice stock is cool too. How do you play Ice stock?

I don’t know bocce, but Ice stock ist similar to curling

Wikipedia says:
Ice stock sport (also known as Bavarian Curling) is a winter sport, somewhat similar to curling. In German, it is known as Eisstockschießen. Competitors slide ice stocks over an ice surface, aiming for a target, or to cover the longest distance. Ice stocks have a gliding surface, to which a stick (ca 30 cm) is attached. The sport, mostly practised in southern Germany, Austria and Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, has been demonstrated at the Winter Olympic Games on two occasions.
