Snow day in the Garden

After one of our (few) snow days earlier this month, I stopped by the Garden of the Gods on the way home from work to shoot a few frames. I got there after the really sweet light, but it wasn't all bad. I think this one is cropped a little too tight along the bottom...

The early bird gets the kissing camels, Bob! Should be some more ops next week, if you dont mind subzero temperatures

I really like the snow on everything. I suggest keeping the foreground exactly as it is, and maybe doing a curves mask on the mid-tones and the brights to pull some more detail out of them. Just a little more adjustment and this will have a lot of impact.

Pretty good chance there's no detail to be pulled out of Pikes Peak back there. This would be an excellent candidate for combining exposures. Food for thought for the next storm.

Nice scene and conditions, but tough light to work with. Maybe a slightly lower perspective would have been better, to put a little space between the peak and the juniper limb. If it were mine, I might play with cropping to a 4x5 ratio; the left edge especially isn't adding much to the scene.

The comp is somewhat cluttered but I like the image overall, especially with the snow.

Thanks guys! All good suggestions!

Nice, you're whetting my appetite for next weeks storm!
