I like these lil' trees with the snow! Cool Linear elements...nice exposure... good job... but... the right top shadow..makes the viewers eye get stuck there...and for some reason I feel like the bottom left distracts...maybe try a lil' bit different crop...Over all good job :)

It is most calming for sure when you are home for the day and don't have to be somewhere else real fast! So well balanced and the shadows work into this very well. The snow seems for still. The contrast and color is so sharp but smooth. The evergreen spread so well for the weight of the snow. That single track I see is not from a motorcycle, right?

Comment from Cgull


Nice shot.

Lovely colors, nice composition.

I would try to get rid of the shadow on the top right.

Lovely, but something is missing, if I knew what I would tell you ;)

Comment from King Diamond


I think what makes this photo work are the horizontal lines presented by the fence and the tracks in the snow. They form a pattern that the eye follows easily. These are broken only by the attractive snow colored trees. As usual, focus, lighting and exposure are impeccable!

    Thank you so much for this review King, I admire your work so much and a great review like this makes me feel like I did something right even though I have tons to learn. You certainly help keep me pointed in a forward direction. I so appreciate your reviews, thank you again!
Comment from davideyoung


In this case, I think that the corner of road coming up the bottom left at that angle actually distracts in this scene. The rest is very nice, but missing something. I think, perhaps, with a larger field of vision, and more away from the shadow in the upper right, it might capture more of that feeling you are trying to convey. Nice shot.

Comment from jnxsmommie


I like the lines in this very much. One other thing that I really like about this is that I think I can pick out those little sparkles that you see in fresh and undisturbed snow. Great work!
