I really like the composition and your processing! Nice work Gary.
Lovely sweep and curve! I like the long horizontal crop, which accentuates these elements. Excellent simplicity. The warm tone works, though it is a bit of a surprise. Did you consider a touch more contrast? Wonderful closeup.
Graceful curving line of the stream with the horizontal windswept lines of the snow and bits of vegetation framing it. I really like the monochromatic tones to this and the thin dark frame for contrast.
Nice work, Gary. I like the toning and the curves. Also, I like what Topaz did to the shadows.
The great thing about being late is that everyone already said it! I love it!! That looks like a lot of snow...
Thanks to all for the positive comments. My wife, son and I will be in Yellowstone for Christmas. Hopefully, I'll capture a few good images. Season's greetings to all.
What is not to like about this simple winter snow composition. The texture in the snow held up well. How would a slightly cooler tone work? Great the way it is though.
Congratulations on third place.
Really like this one. I love the lines of the water and snow.
