Eking out an existence
Found this stand doing it's best to survive in harsh conditions on top of Loveland Pass. I'm on the fence on this one as to whether it is a keeper or not.
Thanks for your comments,

Morris

With enough hard drive space, everything's a keeper. Regardless, I'd keep this one.

Definitely a keeper.

I'd keep it (and I'm fairly brutal when sorting through my stuff).

I'd say it's a keeper too Morris. The light is very nice, and the simplicity of the scene and composition really works nicely!.

Yeah! The lines, the light, the visual contrast all work for me

I thought you were talking about the life of a photographer, but your subject works just as well for this image! :biggrin:

Keeper. What do you think about cropping some off the bottom?

Erik, I like the snow patterns, but I'll try it. I'm always open to suggestions, and thanks to you and Jim.
