I'd like some feed back on these pictures, please (Page 7): Because I like snow I like them all, but particularly #1 because it draws the viewer in with its depth even as the scene...

Awesome set. I love the 3rd one.

Old Boots Loc: Caldwell Co., Texas

Got here late so I went thru all suggestion to see if anyone saw what I saw. 1. Nice pictures all 3 but I'm glad I'm not in or taking them. 2. #3 I would like the flag pole standing straight and let the trees slat. Good job and get warm.

I like #1, it's a beautiful scene and the processing is good, makes me want to examine it to see the story. The other two are too sharp?, unreal looking and look "plastic. The composition of each is very good though, just don't like the PP, makes my eyes hurt to look at it too long.

I do like all three of them, but I do like to condense my photos when I can. I offer these 3 crops just so you can see how I would do them. Yours are really good as they are so don't change them just because one person sees things a little differently.

love number one - what a beautiful pic.. wonderful composition..

Headshot Loc: Ontario, Canada

Beautiful Photos. 1st one really does it for me. Great work.

Rene'spictures Loc: me to know you to find out :)

I like #1 but might like to see it cropped in more like Cajon did it, maybe not that much but just a little more. Like the bridge closer too. :) Nice winter scenes

art pear Loc: North Dakota

all are good. 2 and 3 I would have gotten closer or zoomed in a bit. #2 I would have tried to shoot around that building on the left so it was not in the shot. Nice shots though!

Harvey Loc: Pioneer, CA

Darn good shots.
This thread is why I like UHH - most of the time- LOL
Honestly being able to show what can be dome in PP to help enhance a already great photo.
#1 I liked it better in original but the cropping did not change my opinion- still a winner.
#2 - the color adjustment is great - my change besides the color would be crop out some of the forground and the building on the left.
#3 - same with the color there too I would have cloned out the building as the trees fit the photo.
IMHO

I like the comp of all 3. Its up to you how you like to crop. But I'm not sure if you intended the sepia like color on the 1st 2. I ran some color correction to show more white in the snow in all 3. These are how I would do them (my personal preference).

Woodsliv, I really like #1. The composition is just fine- I like it better than Jesteer's adjustment. It is a bit underexposed and the colour balance is a bit off, however I like it as it is, it gives the impression of sunlight trying to punch through the fog. I would fix that dust bunny in the sky, though, before printing. #3 doesn't appeal to me with that large expanse of empty sky and the leaning flag pole. I do not like the composition of #2 - I think the modernish yellow building is out of sync with the rustic bridge. Here I looked for the "picture within the picture" and cropped it quite a bit. It is underexposed with grey rather that white snow so I fixed that. I feel it is over sharpened, but I couldn't do anything about that.
