Snow patterns

I had the opportunity to join Darwin Wiggett a few years ago on one of his photo tours; I had a great week of shooting places that would have taken me months to find. Thanks Darwin.
We used snow shoes to get to a lot of these places. This image was taken in Jasper National Park. These snow patterns were fun to work with. Thanks for looking.
C&C always welcome.

Like how you used the zoom to make an abstract of the snow patterns

Great showcase of gently rolling humps of snow.

The rolling texture of the snow is very easy on the eyes. I like the overlapping shapes and tones. My only nit is the darkest area on the upper right edge of the photo. If I browser crop it, more emphasis is placed on the second darkest area.

What a great snow abstract. Even the bits of glitter are there. The cold toning on this is perfect!

Beautiful abstract with lovely sensuous lines. My only suggestion is to push the white point farther (towards pure white).

Great shapes, the texture and glitter in the snow is wonderful.

Kyle,

Great eye to isolate the shape and forms of the snow. I like the little sparkles that show throughout this intimate winter scene.

Might agree with Guy in pushing the white pt. slightlty, otherwise this is beautifully seen and captured.
