    The small stream is in the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone NP. Topaz Simplify softened the protruding grass and shrubs. The image was warmed a bit.

    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.

    Really like this one. I love the lines of the water and snow.
