My first outing with my new Tokina 12-24, and I'm already loving it - such a sweet lens. This is also my first entry with HDR. I didn't think ahead enough to shoot RAW, so this is a JPEG run through curves two different ways and merged in Photomatix, then worked in PS7. I have my doubts, it isn't exactly as I'd like it, but if this isn't the season to take a chance, when is?

Very interesting image. Nice use of leading lines and subtle color contrast. I always enjoy seeing snow that has not been corrupted by human traffic.

Hard to get high and low contrasts just right, but a good effort...

Very beautiful...the lighting is nice and soft, and the water serves as a nice leading line through the photo.
