Some interesting shapes and details in this Albert and the shadow play is quite nice. Well done.

An intimate view of winter, that I think conveys a peaceful message :smile:

I think the scene you are capturing here is interesting. The larger version shows the sparkling crystals on the snow, which the smaller version does not. The side light on the stems is pretty nice. I feel that the stronger composition is of the foreground stems and the background stems diminish it somewhat. The background stems are also out of focus which also hurts it.

The undulating shadows across that snow has a sensuous qualtiy as well as peaceful. It's quite appealing.

Albert, the shadows look great here and the sprinkling of plants adds extra interest that is very nicely distributed throughout the frame.

I like this Albert. My only suggestion would be to dial back the blues a little. I think I liked your other shot of just the long shadows a bit more. Maybe the grasses and their shadows are competing for attention more than I'd like. But very nice anyway. :wavey:

This is a pretty cool winter scene, Albert. The sparkles in the snow look great and I love the light and shadows across the scene. The blue in the shadows looks pretty natural to me.

This compliments your last post beautifully, Albert. This has a great combination of light and shadow along with some wonderful textures in the snow.

A very interesting and visually appealing abstract. The play of light and patterns work together really well.

Lovely minimalist take.  The plethora of twigs and shadows keep the eye deliciously moving around the image.
