Soldiers

Early April, the snow has already begun to melt. Old pines standing

firm on the knee deep snow.

Beautiful winter scene, good composition. I like the mood - looks quiet and calm. The title is very well chosen.

Nature's often a chaotic mess, but you have emphasized that sometimes she does present herself in an orderly manner. You showed that some trees are straight and tall enough to become telephone poles or ship masts, and that a coating of snow covers a lot of disorder. Good focus on a theme.
