Winter Woods

I'd love to hear your thoughts, thanks!

Not that it really matters, but I'm a bit surprised by the low ratings.....wish I had some explanation. I really love this photograph! Perhaps my taste is a bit odd. LOL

What?  No nudes, babies, or dogs?  No wonder the low ratings!

Seriously, I like this too Tim.  It is a quiet, comtemplative image - with nice depth through the winter woods.  Simple, undramatic yet honest landscapes don't seem to draw much attention though - sadly enough.

Take care, David

I think that this is a fine capture as well.

Why I like it, and why I think it works, is because there seems to be an almost 'invisible' leading line from the foreground into the depths of the forest.

Nice work indeed.

Cheers

Rob

 

David - I think too many people just skim over the images and never really stop to "look" before giving a rating and most images here require you to "view larger" to really appreciate it. 

BTW, I was nude when I took this photo, don't know if that helps. LOL

 

Rob - Glad you noticed the almost "tunnel" effect created by the trees receding into the background. I took the time to compose this that way, nice to know it works.  The snow was really coming down and created a nice soft gray curtain to help separate the trees in the foreground from the ones in the back. 

Thank you both!

I like it!  It's "crisp"!  I would crop the larger tree on the right.

Thanks David, the tree to the right is a close personal friend of mine. We went to college together and it is a Flames fan, so I felt wrong asking it to step out of the frame. LOL

Seriously though, I could argue either way, but I like the "anchor" effect that it has.

Tim...  I never comment on "nudes" but this one is just so natural and real that I had to set my prudishness aside.  The very mature lady on the right does anchor the frame well; the thin model on the left is not to my taste, but all the other well rounded girls-next-door are excellent.  Depth is hard to present with such a straightforward image, but you've done well with this one...  A deceptively simple image; but then, girls are like that, aren't they?! ;-)

Oh yes, I much prefer this one to the alternate version taken under the "strip club" lighting....  Mike

You crack me up Mike! :-D

I agree with Rob. I do not feel as if I am standing back & observing the scene but rather that I am walking into the scene. Regards -Ross

Long time! Good to hear from you, thanks! I've got some catching up to do. :-)
