2014's pitiful snowpack is already receding in this shot from my favorite local snowshoe destination in the Sierra. I'm guessing it will be totally different this year... more snow coming tonight and tomorrow. Yeah!!

I liked the vertical aspens against the right to left flow of the landscape behind. Makes a pretty nice B+W too.

Dave, you've got some fine textures and a good sense of movement in the snow. The aspens make a good counterpoint. Go snow! (as long as it's not another 30" in my driveway...)

I like the contrast of the large flowing shapes of the snow pack versus the tiny sharp details of the trees, Dave. It looks a lot like early spring also. The large version is much nicer because it has more presence and a lot more detail to look at.

Hi Dave

An interesting perspective, with the diagonal lines of snow, against the green vertical trees
