I like this one also, although maybe a bit more contrast along the left hand side at the top of the frame for a bit of balance.

Exquisite Bill; I love it! I've really been enjoying your landscapes lately, and this is another winner.

I love the comp. Looks snow covered. Maybe you should come back after a snowfall...but be quick, snow doesn't last long up there

Very nice. The ulc feels just a little empty but I love this white on white abstract.

I like the lines and abstract composition of this image. I do agree that the ulc feels a bit empty.

I like high-key images, and this one works. As was commented upon, the upper left looks a little empty. There is some detail there you might attempt to pull. Otherwise, this has a nice mood, Bill.

Very dreamy look that works quite well. Your high key effort is paying dividends with this one. Real nice.

This works very well, Bill, with a great sense of flowing lines.

there we go! the next step, methinks, is to please the folks with an utterly compelling composition (except for stan, it seems they're complaining about the upper left corner!). great subtlety of tones here. love it.
