Very pretty winter scene, Albert. Love the way everything is covered with snow and the trees look almost feathery. Perfectly exposed for the whites.

The large version is a real beauty, Albert. When I opened it up there was all those wonderful details with the ice covered trees for me to savor and enjoy. I think this might be my favorite of your winter scenes so far. I can not quite explain it, but this is thoroughly enjoyable to view. Great job on the whites BTW.

A beautiful winter palette, Albert. I really like the way you framed the scene with the opening in the center leading to more distant trees.

A nice title, Albert. A very fine ice storm image. The leaning cattails in the center foreground seem to beckon you in. Some fine details in the larger image. Nice work.

The comp is not as strong as some of your others, but the detaisl in the large version makes this very enjoyable!

Wonderful winter landscape, Albert. Conveys the post-storm mood very well.

This is a very pretty, yet frosty winter scene, Albert. The whites look great and you've got a fine sense of depth with the opening in the middle.

Albert,

Yet another beautiful and lovely winter scene. This one is delicate with still a strong, open and balanced composition. I really like how this opens up in the middle showcasing the subtle stance of trees in the mid-background. The cattails balance out the comp nicely.

The exposure, color, contrast - basically all the processing looks spot on to me. Well done!

I like the 'gateway' look to this image where the trees form a frame that lead you into the distance. This has a light, cheery, and very delicate appearance. An optimistic look at winter. The processing looks spot on. One potential for me is that sapling in the middle of the image. It blocks the view into the distance. I don't know if it was intended to be a point of focus but I think the image would look a bit stronger without it.

Albert,
Beautiful image. Those snow covered trees have a wonderful, delicate quality. The cattails make a nice foreground and add depth to the image. Processing looks spot-on.
