I like the simplicity and the symmetry, but the tree in the top right corner bugs me for some reason. I think its the size in comparison to the other three - it just looks like it got unnecessarily cut off.

It does seem too small and close to that other tree doesn't it? I was really trying to isolate groups of trees, maybe there was something close by that forced this comp.

I agree... the upper right seems a little tight. Other than that, it is quite soothing. Really makes me want to be there, stand in the silence and enjoy the nice textures.

I like the shadows and lines this shot brings to the viewer. I do agree with the upper right it draws your eye in a bit from the scene. I actually like the thicker tree better than the blackened tree. Not sure what can be done about it, maybe another ski trip is in order. :wink:

I feel that the middle part of the scene draws my eyes in enough that the upper right isn't even an issue. Nice work.
