Thanks Dave, I will check it out, we're getting more snow in a couple of days so I'll try again.

Well I can't argue with you on that, ;)

Based on the picture, it appears that your biggest mistake is living in Columbus, Ohio in the winter.

Thank you Linda, I will be checking out the website and the book, I can't wait for the snow to start falling again.

Yes on the flash (built in), and only the uv filter.

Hi Jana, I was inside my house with the window open, but not leaning out of the window. Maybe it was because the aperture was at f4. I'll get a handle on these settings one of these days :)

I wouldn't say you were doing anything wrong. If you were shooting through the window or straight out and that's how it turned out then that's how it turned out. Were you under a cover looking out at it or actually out in it?

Some of the snow appears bigger and hazy. It was taken in shutter priority, shutter speed at 1/15, f4, iso 400. The snow was fairly uniform in size when it was falling.

Please be more specific with what you are trying to do and why you are not pleased with this shot

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the input Dave, unfortunately the bench is in Texas and I'm in Ohio :). I will keep your advice in mind for future shots.

Hi, Marie,
my only suggestion is that if a re-take be possible, the reposition your view to include the path in front of the bench extending more to the left to provide more of the view available to one resting there.
This image, lovely as it is, offers a range of optional versions based on different tonal ranges and spectra.

Wow, those changes do make the picture pop, it appears to have more of a presence, thanks for sharing, Carol.

Hi All

I am very interested to see any revisions to the photograph. It is interesting to see the possibilities from experienced photographers.

Thanks Graham, I appreciate your honesty. I can picture myself sitting there when I look at the photo but maybe that's because I was actually there. Thanks for taking time to give feedback.
