Trees of Alps

Snow covered trees under Matterhorn was the small part of the fantastic view from the apartment we stayed in Zermatt. One morning, sun was keeping them warm then I stepped out into the balcony and captured this.

I think this is a lot nicer than the thumbnail leads one to believe. It has a painterly softness that goes well with the warm tones. I don't care for the tiny bit of railing in the llc, though.

Mohammad,

Pretty rough having to step out on the to balcony eh?

What a great sight to have though and I can certainly see why you would want to capture this. I couldn't quite figure out the LLC until I read Nancy Lea's comments. You might consider cloning/cropping that out as it does take away a little from the "natural" look.

I like the scene, but am a little torn about some of the brighter, empty areas up top and on the right. It's like I either want to see a broader view or have those areas cropped out. But I'm not sure cropping is the answer, but I do feel there is a better comp in there; just can't put my finger on it. Maybe someone else can make a suggestion.

Thanks for posting!

Lon

Interesting take Mohammad. The flatness makes it almost an abstract, and a crop of the central section might emphasize that.
