This just pops! Wow, what a great image. Really well used range of tone, contrast, and composition. The technical aspects of a shot like this are awe inspiring to be so perfectly done. Can I ask how difficult was this to print?

Thanks for the kind comments everybody. Andrew, once I figured out my printing formula...which took about 20 minutes...this photo was very easy to print. It required 3 printings steps..a base exposure at 60 magenta units, a burn in exposure at 60 magenta units and a final burn in exposure at 45 yellow units..using my saunders enlarger with a color head. With snow scenes....especially when shooting into the sun, I like a thinner, lower contrast negative. The negative is the key...in this instance I exposed an entire roll of 120 film to make sure I found the perfect exposure. When I find a good composition I frequently expose a whole roll of film or multiple rolls of film using different film types and developers. Plus, I seem to have bad luck with negatives...as I scratch them, drop them on the darkroom floor, etc...so I like having multiple negatives in hand. If I can get one or two good shots a month...I am happy...so I don't care about burning film.

Regards,
John

I know quite a few photographers in Detroit who would travel far to get a shot like this. You showed them that good photography is not a matter of geographical distance. Very impressive!!!
