Lovely interplay of the blue and yellow, cold and warm, shade and sun. Quite tranquil.

I am sure there will be a debate about the protruding grass on the foreground. Not terribly bothered by it as-is, but just wish to see either more of it or none.

Lovely light and place indeed!
 Personally, I would have had more grass in the foreground and probably made it just a little bit darker, to draw attention to the gorgeous trees.

I'd like to see a bit more. Other than that, It's a very pleasing scene!

Fantastic. I'm intrigued by the soft sweeping light on the hills behind as well.

Same here.

Thanks for the comments. Sadly, what you see is all there is. I really haven't yet got to grips with using tiny cameras with screens and not having a nice viewfinder to hold to my eye.

I could darken the foreground a little, though, I agree.

I really love the drama in the background. The dark brooding nature of the cloud and snow - that sort of portentous stuff sings to me. I also really like the interplay of warm light on the trees which is well juxtaposed with the background.

I would however exclude the tufts of grass in the foreground that are detracting from the image at present. They cause my eye to dart back and forth and I cant settle on the beautiful color harmony between the warm trees and cool background.

BTW: this image is an excellent example of complimentary colour harmony. Nice work.

It's a beauty, Jeremy. But if there isn't more foreground, I would be very much tempted to "anti-Russ*" it to omit the grassy stuff at the bottom altogether.

It's a fine shot, Jeremy, and I'm with Josh: the ominous background makes the picture.

+1. Thank goodness for literate critique.
