First Snow

The placement of gray values between the background spruces and foreground spruces is just right. However, this looks more like something one would do for a cover magazine because of all that vacant white space above the trees. It is a great place to stuff text, but has nothing to add to the composition of a fine art print. Do not ever do that again.

Sorry Derek about being so harsh. I may be posting some of my work shortly and you will have a chance to get even.

I agree. It appears to be something to which I would add something. This is a fine experiment in photographing a winter scene to see if you can keep the detail in the shadows...(but you're too dark for that). I'd say tighten up and lighten up. AND KEEP SHOOTING.
