Fascinating scene. I do think focusing on the dead tree/branches right of center would make for a stronger composition; I find the left-hand side of the current frame distracting.

I'd say an 8x10, eliminating that left side. FWIW. YMMV.

Thanks Bill. I found the skull nearby and decided to set it here for this shot. Too good to pass up!

Nice one, Matt.


By the way, Edward Weston also moved a skull to make a better photo.

FWIW = "For what it's worth."
YMMV = "Your mileage may vary."

I think Dave was meaning to say his suggestions are just that, not edicts.

Sorry, been away for a while. Glad Eric filled in with the definitions. I like your most recent composition, personally much better because in my humble opinion (IMHO), the remnants of the dead tree are more emphasized. I know the abbreviations can be obscure some times, but just type them into your browser and you'll find a definition that works.

I have processed this two different ways and am asking for C&C. I like the softer/matted process. What I wanted to capture and emphasize was the contrast between the softness of the snow and the sharpness of the bark and needles.   Thanks, -t

I think I like the second a little more but find them pretty similar to each other. Both nice but the second seems more natural.

Here's one more of the tree I posted last night. A little tighter composition and the colors in the sky got a little more intense too.
This is a 3 exposure HDR which I did to get some shadow detail and keep the sky from blowing out.
