House on the Prairie

Another morning below zero and with more snow. On my way to shot a scene that I have wanted to shoot in the snow, I came across this old house on the prairie. This was taken about 40 minutes before sunrise. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

Absolutely wonderful Richard. I really like your choice of composition and exposure. Only thing that bugs me about it are the two telephone poles and over head wires. Cloning them out may improve the viewers attention on the old structure. Still exquisite as is though.

Beautiful lonely house on the prairie. I agree with John about the telephone poles and the over head wires. I would also be tempted to lighten the foreground a bit
