    Default Reindeer battling the elements

    This image was taken during an incredible snow blizzard. I have been to Northern Scandinavian many times but never encountered a blizzard like this. We found this small group of Reindeer, staying close together they tried to make their way through the blizzard. I like the rawness of the image and i think because the image is rather minimalist, it makes it very powerful.

    I like it too, Renee, simple and powerful. I'd normally say that it's better for them to be facing you, but here, the struggle against the blizzard makes up for it.

    Renee,

    Thanks for posting. A powerful image. I feel you include enough of the blizzard in the framing of the reindeer to show how intense the storm is. Them going away from you enforces the struggle. Well done.

    Definitely conveys the hardships these animals are struggling against. As you said, it is a powerful image.
