This kinda looks like the hillside we shot together with Eric that time... I like the contrast of green lit hillside against the snowy backdrop hill..

Interesting shot, Mark. I like the muted green hillside FG with the almost monochrome snow slope in the rear.

Nice contrasts here, Mark. What was just below the crop?

Thanks to all,

Marc, right in the center, there is the top of an old sand pit.

Some cool light going on there...

I've stared at this one several times, Mark -- abstract landscapes aren't my strong point, to be sure, but this one didn't grab me like some of your stuff (thinking about that cool fence shot on your website, for example). The two things that distract me are the somewhat muddy trees in the lower right corner, and the competing highlights in the snow patch on the left edge, and the sun spot toward the lower right.

Neat mood and light here, Mark. I really like the transition from snow to earth on the left slope - it lends a great feel to the scene.
