The aperture and shutter were guesswork. The only available light came from the lamp. I had to do some PS work because the top was to dark. I hope you like it.
Since I store all my photo's digitally, I'm afraid I don't have the original anymore. Just the PS version. I think you are refering to the glow in the background behind the trees. This glow might make it look as an early morning shot. However, I took this picture a few steps away from my home, somewhere in (a dark corner) of the city I live in. The glow in the background is the glow you see at night coming from a city with all its streetlights and so on.
But you're right. It looks like it could be a morning shot.
I loved the detail of the snow on the trees and bushes, it really caught my eyes. I will like to see the darker image. Not to be rude, but this shot looks more of a early morning image. Great work with your portfolio.
