Hi Mike, great shot. I like the way the tree in the foreground first attracts the eye and then you are drawn into the scene by the river. Very crisp and clear.
Well done, regards
Patrick

Great choice of FG tree with the meandering stream trailing off into the distance. That bit of brown brush in the center of the photo is a bit distracting, but otherwise a great shot.

Hi Mike,
I prefer this one over the one posted in TL. The composition is really good with the huge tree perfectly positioned and the creek taking me further into the photo. It is great to explore the photo and find the brown and green colors.
TFS,

Hello Mike,
a lovely image full of ambiance. Maybe a slight shift in the levels would give some more contrreast to the snow. Compliments, Jacob

Wow....it really happened just like you said it would. I really like this shot Mike. It is just a super composition. It is well exposed, has great values, and the little bit of color makes it very rich.

Hi Mike,
A beautiful winter landscape scene. Very well composed and framed with the use of the fallen tree in the foreground to the right. It almost looks mono toned except for traces of brown in the branches and grasses.

Mike you have caught some good detail in the snow here and not overexposed it and it is a nice shot.

But I find the brown bare branches infrotn of the water quite intrusive and almost cluttering the picture...

Hi Mike

Wow... it was a hefty dump of snow by the look of this awesome shot. We are heading into Summer here in New Zealand, so keep posting these lovely Winter scenes to cool me off! Stunning shot. :-)

Beautiful wintery scene. The exposure is perfectly handled, no easy thing with such a dynamic range. The colors are also subtle, with just enough brown to warm the frame. Well done.
