Would have loved to go back and grab an older shot but I didn't save the originals in the past and now I'm paying the price. Here's one of the shots I really enjoy.

Nice winter scene. This is perfect for B&W.
03/17/2009 09:57:35 PM
Beautiful shot, just a little more contrast to give it more depth is the only thing I might have done differently

Very nice!
03/17/2009 11:14:23 AM
black and white does this well
03/17/2009 10:58:44 AM
A little oof, would pop more if it were sharper.

Lovely B&W nature scene.
03/16/2009 08:49:34 PM
Contrast seems lacking leaving the photo somewhat flat (at least for me). Nice view.

this is rather chaotic for me , I mean the composition there are too many 'thing' and the bw conversion is also .. well lets say it doesnt fit to my taste ;D

nice
03/15/2009 09:37:34 PM
Nice but why not color?
03/15/2009 06:07:11 PM
Not sure if B&W was a good choice here. Also needs a little more contrast to make the scene seem a little less flat.

A nice winter scene but it looks a bit flat.
03/15/2009 11:37:28 AM
toning works well, some areas look over exposed?

I like what black and white does for this. Nice shot.
03/14/2009 11:25:56 PM
This looks cold.
03/14/2009 11:09:53 PM
good conversion to black and white
03/14/2009 07:38:27 PM
Well framed. Adds to a nice shot.
03/14/2009 02:10:20 PM
Snow is so photogenic. I like the curved trunk over the stream - I think it ties it all up very nicely.

Interesting use of duo tone.

love the black and white, the snow and the ice are so vivid, 8
03/14/2009 11:03:26 AM
The image seems a little flat overall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 09:17:16 AM
this is a pleasing shot...it is a little dark is all but pleasing none the less
03/13/2009 08:22:42 PM
This is one that I think would really benefit from larger size limits. There are so many subtle details that the size just doesn't do justice to.
03/13/2009 05:57:39 PM
I love snow pictures. It looks cold. Hope you don't have to cross that creek.
03/13/2009 10:35:00 AM
a little bland , maybe a just a touch more contrast would liven things up a bit
03/13/2009 09:21:35 AM
looks pretty chilly there!
03/13/2009 08:56:06 AM
love this tranquil image
03/13/2009 02:57:10 AM
Nice cool tone image to show us how cold the water is.
03/13/2009 01:49:17 AM
Wouldn't mind snowsheig past this place. Pleasant setting lovingly captured.
03/12/2009 08:13:23 PM
I miss some details and sharpness
03/12/2009 07:36:27 PM
I like what you were seeing here, but the lighting is flat. Perhaps some added contrast or shooting this scene at a different time of day would remedy that and substantially grow your score.

Idyllic winter scene
03/12/2009 12:28:11 PM
Beautiful scene , just seems to be missing a little to give it the wow factor.
03/12/2009 12:15:34 PM
Good pic but nothing dramatic for me. Needs a bit more pop to it.
03/12/2009 11:22:51 AM
Pretty spot
03/12/2009 10:31:06 AM
contrast seems a little off.... you have very white patches of snow, mixed with gray/yellow patches, creating a very sickly effect,
03/12/2009 09:04:25 AM
A little flat for me. Too much light in some areas. Would have looked better in b/w and more contrast I think.
03/12/2009 02:46:34 AM
Pretty landscape and you have composed it well. The times in the image are a bit muddy though - not a full range of blacks, whites and tones in between.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:02:00 PM
The whites aren't white enough and the blacks are black enough. But the composition works well enough. The whole image feels rather soft.

While I like your composition, I do find the photo to be a bit busy.
03/11/2009 05:00:38 PM
This has a nice calm feel to it, after 100+ votes it's a nice place to be..
03/11/2009 03:55:16 PM
I can see this as a Christmas card. What a calm and beautiful snow scene. It's subtle and may not have the WOW factor of some but I really like its simplicity.
03/11/2009 07:34:14 AM
Nice winter landscape with the river going from the right to the left.
03/11/2009 05:13:23 AM
Captured the feel of the scene well
03/11/2009 04:55:22 AM
postcard perfect.
03/11/2009 02:14:50 AM
Nice image.
