Snow Waves

Any constructive critique and ratings are welcome.

Nice 3-D shadows!

Very good photo. A little too busy for my taste, though, remind me more of spiderwebs than waves.

Very evocative.

 

I'm not sure I like the tree in there, but maybe the picture would look too empty without it.

Nice, Vlad. The only suggestion would be to cut down a little on the blue perhaps... Should be very nice in B&W too... Regards.

Very nice picture Vlad.

A simple scene, perfectly composed and exposed. There's something about the way you cropped the tree, with just a hint of the spreading branches, that really gives this scene it's high level of visual interest. Still, aren't you glad it's finally Spring?

I think I prefer the coloured version. For some reasons Snow in b&w doesn't really convey the feeling as well. Very nice.

Really nice and oroginal composition.

6/7

Vlad......great composition and skill in capturing the dimension of the snow drifts.

Hi, Vlad. Between this two I again prefer the color version. Good composed, interesting look.

This will look mighty good in less than a month!

I will think of it as I mow in 90+ temps.

Lovely composition Vlad.

Thanks everybody, I appreciate very much your stopping by to comment and rate on this picture.

 

Simone, you are right, without that tree there, probably, won't be completed composition, just pure experiments with snow surface.

 

Jim, I'm glad that it's finally Spring, however, over long Minnesota winter I've collected a number of images I want to work on and upload for critique...and, probably, Peta also somehow answered your question...maybe some people will like snow, especially when it would be hot summer season.

 

Marc, below is attached edited image with blue color down. What I did, I desaturated Cyans (-40) and Blues (-20). As for B&W, it can be checked out at http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1476815. I like it too, but it has collected so far 7 ratings 5.57/5.29 (A/O).

 

 

Really cool!

Thanks for your reply. I think your B&W version would need an addition of contrast, but after seeing it and seeing also the desaturation version you attached here, my vote goes to the color desaturated version. Regards.

What an interesting shot - like it very much as is.

Thanks Marc and Audrew for the feedback. B&W version with the ratings collected can be seen below.

It's a striking natural abstract. B&W version is equally attractive.
