I spent a frosty dawn creeping about the Hillsdale meadows in Banff.
Feedback welcome.

Love those, especially the first: great composition, geometry, textures, contensts: all!

Very well stated Eric. And of course praise for the photographer for such images. I was also entranced by the first image. You are also getting the hang of naming the threads, Scott.

#1 - not sure if the tree in the foreground adds to, or detracts from, the nice "V" shape in the background. My eye ping-pongs between the two:)

I like the sombre mood in #3, very ominous.

I'm especially attracted by the first photo. Composition, subject, processing, mood are all top-notch.

Yes, something isn't working with #1 in spite of several compositions and processing attempts. Glad Eric and Francois liked it.

I just need to avoid laziness, Sean.

You could clone out that nearby tree in the first shot, but it would give you a less interesting image, IMHO.
I like the lone tree facing off against the mighty forest.

Yes, my first approach was sans charred stump, attached.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

That one is nice, too. But the one with the charred stump is better.
