Snow
I thought it looked nice, but what may look good to me may not to some of you and so your thoughts, comments and critiques are appreciated! Thanks, Cliff

Hi Cliff

I really like the angles in this photo - the diagonal line in front contrasting with the verticals in back. Also, the reddish colors of the tree trunks vs the green of the tree branches and white of the snow. Nice!

There is a great sense of daigonal balance created in this photograph. A good use of repeated pattern also. I love the way the foreground trees contrast against each other with their varying amounts of snow. The falling snow keeps the composition from becoming static. Very much a keeper. :biggrin:

I think this is very good, Cliff. It is both random, and repetitious at the same time, without feeling chaotic at all. Good eye on this one. :toast:

You really captured the early snowfall well, and that pasty wet and cold feeling too! Brrrr....

I like what Aaron said about the image, Cliff. I'll add that I think it has a nice artistic look thanks to the falling snow; great shutter speed on that. (Wish you had shared the techs…) Really nice shot.

This is wonderful Cliff! As noted, the lines in this work great with the falling snow. This would be an interesting photo to make brighter, more saturated, and then Ortonized a little.
