Title: Almost frozen
Post by: Ari N on December 10, 2010, 01:36:13 pm

Last sunday evening shots, just before huge snowfalls in southern Finland.
Now, in this time, you must use snow shoes to walkt to this place...

I find the second one much better compositionally (leading lines, sun and horizon placement) and tonally (i.e., slightly underexposed vs. underexposed).

I agree with Slobodan, but I would add that the colors in the sky in the first shot are outstanding.

I too like the first one a lot, but the second is outstanding.

the second one IS outstanding. depth of field is great, all the details and textures hold up well. I also like the way the lines of the trees lead the eye toward the center (breaks a "rule" but works!)

Agreed.  The first one's good, but the second one's great.
