Taken early morning during the last week winter storm in the sierras, it was snowing badly with very less visibility...this is more of a natural high-key shot and post-processing was bare minimal.

what do you think ? as always comments and critiques appreciated.

Wonderful, kinda like a serigraph print. Could use a crop of the top.

I like the dreamy, kind of high key look to this image, Debjit. I also like the lean of the trees blanketing the boulders. Really minor, but I might clone the branches coming in from the sides. Very nicely done!!!!

A very unique look to this scene from the original capture to the finished processing as well, Debjit.

I like the high-key presentation and composition here. A 4x5 ratio with a crop off the top might look good as well. Well seen and captured!

Truly a testimony to the conditions. I really like this. I agree with Jeffrey about the crop.

Soft and subtle, with a nice composition. I agree with Harley regarding cloning a few errant branches. The tones are just right.

Good job!

I've been in many whiteouts while skiing at Mammoth that looked a lot like this. Nice image.

Very cool Debjit, a very ethereal feel to it.
