Title: Snow Farm
Post by: Todd Suttles on February 13, 2014, 09:00:12 pm

This is one of three I have shot during the Snow Event in Georgia (USA) over the last couple days. As always, comments, suggestions and critiques are very much appreciated. Thanks, -t

That is first class! All of the elements are in the right place and the mood and the toning are spot on. Destined for the wall?

+1. It'd be on my wall right now if I'd shot it. Great stuff, Todd.

Todd - the light and color are interesting, but the subjects... not so much...especially the fence in foreground. What is interesting potentially is what is in the background (minus that house) - the fence dominating the foreground and immediate attention... is just ordinary... in a promising scene.  /B  (will pm additional)

Without the fence, the house, and the outbuildings it's just an empty, snowy field. Don't mess with it Todd.

The fence makes it. I would have liked it even more if it had been taken with a shallow DOF..... f/2.8 - f/4 focused on the fence post in the foreground. As it is .... it is splendid. :)

I like it.  In any case any shot you get with snow in Georgia is amazing!  If you want more practice, you can come up here to Yankee country! We've been getting a lot of practice here lately.

Love this, no need to do anything but print!

Composition (a high priority for me) is spot on.
That downward facing wire top right [from memory, can't view while post] balanced against
lower left foreground... ooh, I'm green with envy
