Me too.

Very nice.

Me three! Tranquil.

My only quibble is the saturation is set rather high making what little colour there is a tad on the "hot/candy" side.

Post by: Leszek Piotrowski on December 28, 2016, 09:36:31 pm: Thank you kindly -- Scott,stamper,Paulo,Eric and Terry. (Terry,.. I did bump up the saturation a bit, and will likely tone it down for the print.)

Post by: Leszek Piotrowski on January 05, 2017, 10:28:15 pm: Rajan, thank you so very much for your complement.

After waiting 2 years to capture this winter moment and the input I have received from all ,... hoping this capture will make a very fine 16x20 print.

thanks again everyone.

The essence of winter has been well captured with the muted tones being very appropriate.
The colour, as Terry suggests, just needs to be toned back to complement the rest of a beautiful tranquil image.
