Snow, steel
« on: December 22, 2013, 11:22:45 pm »
Suggestions welcome. Hope these structures are less distorted than the last lot.

I know #1 is dark, but I want the colours of the sundogs to show. I wish I could also show the flow of the wind-blown ice crystals sweeping through the dogs.

They have an alien world feel to them, especially the first image.  Terrific!

Another vote for #1. Just love the richness, really draws me in.
#2 also works for me. Love the sun low to the horizon in it's winter path.
#3 is nice but for me pales to the first two.

#1 for me too… without question! The other two are also interesting but not as stunning.

Scott - #1 fantastic shot...#2 not sure about the square framing - maybe a little off top. #3 not that interesting subject wise or at least the way it's framed/positioned. /B

Many thanks for the feedback, it's appeciated. I was worried about "the sky is darker than the land" in #1.

We know it's not documentary; the question is whether it achieves suspension of disbelief.

Me thinks this apples here as well
