Very fine capture of the snow textures and the whites, Ronald ! Nice detail, too, in the seed heads, especially in the large version. A lovely ` as found ' image.

Ron: This is very nicely seen and composed. the texture and forms in the snow are wonderful. I might be tempted to dial down teh blue just a touch but this is very nice as is. Really well done.>=))>

I like this a lot. Wonder how it would look in stark black and white.

Works for me. I might clone out a few leaves for an even starker look, but really nice.
