Alina, Ken, This picture was taken in early morning with low light. It is actually a High Dynamic Range Composite of three pictures taken with a -2EV, 0EV and +2EV. This allows you to get the nice back lighting through the clouds and still get foreground details.
Alina, they look real because they are rendered more like your eye sees things. A camera cannot capture equal detail in a bright background and a dark foreground, but your eye can, or your mind can in a series of quick views. You see detail in both light and dark areas. HDR gives you the same capability is a single picture. Of course, you need a tripod, and the ability to shoot bracketed EV, and the software to process the multiple shots.

Looks cool. It's 86 degrees here and humid.
LOVE the picture, it almost looks black and white... very atmospheric. Also love the snow, roll on March!!
Nick and Alina
Snow! What is this strange word which you use? Is it some technical term that means you set your camera to take black and white pictures?
Looks nice from Texas.
I was wearing shorts today in Massachusetts. Feel free to keep the snow west as long as possible!

We are already sick of winter!
I wondered if you'd used the Dynamic Range...
It gives the trees a halo effect. I find with the pictures you take using the HDRC they almost look 3D.
