Lots of snow in Arizona today. Made a pre-dawn trek to West Fork hoping for a few inches - got a foot of snow with more coming down the entire hike.

Very nice colors!
I like: snow color, trees color, contrast between the two
dislike: distraction from other less important trees (on the right and left of the two main trees)

Love this!
I think it's great just as is - with the main trees and smaller ones at the sides.
Excellent detail in both the snow and trunks.

I like this as much as everyone else. However, while I think it is better in color than B&W would be, I do think that the saturation is over done to the point of distraction. I'm just reporting my personal reaction as I see this on my uncalibrated monitor this Sunday morning. I think that the point I would like to see made by this image would be much better made with the saturation ratcheted way down.

Kurt,
It's almost always a great mix of the pure white snow and the reds of pines (ponderosa maybe?) and this is no exception. This brings me right there and I can just hear the silence (oxy-moron kinda statement I guess.) But really, this does give off a sense of quiet and I can imagine just standing there in the woods, no sound.

I like this a lot, Kirk. Very nicely composed and I like how the tree bark adds some nice color contrast to what is otherwise a monochromatic scene.

A wonderful winter scene. I too really enjoy the contrast of the red pine trunks against the snow. It does feel very quiet and peaceful to me. Very nice work Kurt!

Cool. Love the red and white contrast. Textures are especially cool.
