This picture was taken near Westerwolde in the winter. I was late afternoon walking through this beautiful nature reserve when I stumbled upon this spectacle; the sun shining precisely through the branches of this special tree.
What appeals to me most about this photo is the tranquility it exudes and also the use of color. The bright green of the grass, the clear blue of the frozen water and the red of the leaves, through which the sun shines beautifully.
