Please share your thoughts! Thanks for taking the time, Stanislav

Let me try to explain. Here light is very even and therefore it does not produce any shadows. So, amount of snow on one side of trees plays essentially role of the light to produce 3D effect of each tree. That works ok. You included these 2-3 trees on the left that are darker (no snow), or they are bigger, or closer - doesn't matter. In this image because of relative uniformity of the rest of it (imagine you are looking at graphical patterns - trees in the snow make that "pattern"), these 2-3 darker trees attract attention. However, I think the best part of the image is its right 2/3. Here there is some support of overall depth of the image (larger trees in foreground, smaller in the background, and disappearing in pattern of snow and branches). So, I suggest to crop left part including largest tree. If you are not focusing completely on patters and want to present forest, then other suggestion will be to include some area of ground, to support our stereotype that trees grow from the ground :) This is very challenging shot. One other way in this kind of conditions is to find area of trees with more prominent perspective - at least some obvious line of trees positioned.

interesting comments above. intriguing to me is the fact that this image is ambiguous and that it can be "read" on many levels. actually, it is mesmerizing.

Vardan- thanks for your comment and thoughts! I appretiate it very much.

This image was intended to be abstract. Actually, in the original version there is some ground, but it just doesn't look good to me. I do agree that the tree on the left is a bit too prominent. On the other hand, it adds a strong point of interest and somehow makes the deeper. i'll try out your suggestion with the crop!

Dror- thanks!

Warm regards, Stanislav
