"Up Periscope"

Your thoughts or suggestions appreciated. It was the sensual curves

in the snow that first caught my eye, but the small tree, looking as

though it were pushing up through the snow, seemed to be fighting

off the cold (or maybe just having a look around)...

Simple and nice...

Very nice!

Why, thank you! I think that simple compositions can sometimes say the most...

Good job on exposure. Not easy to get snow right.

Nicely done! The "dunes" are great looking. The darkness of the green fits perfectly with the other tones to give a subdued feel. Nice lighting and exposure.

 

(1) Did you have an alternate wider angled take that includes more of those dunes? (2) Do you have a shot with the plant set inside a wee bit more, with atleast one mound in front of it in the foreground? This will give me, the viewer, the feeling that the mounds continue for ever in the foreground direction as well. But that's a different picture.

Niranjan, Thanks for your comment. I normally take several different compositions of a scene that I like, but in this case I only have just the one telephoto shot. If I remember correctly, I had to "zoom in" in order to eliminate some unsightly stuff. By the way, I enjoyed your portfolio - nice.

This photo is surely underrated. Excellent exposure, funny title, and the snowbumps all make a wonderful shot.

This is simply gorgeous!! Wonderful work!!!!

I love this, it works beautifully, you must be proud of it and justifiably so, great composition, fantastic tones, and humour too, just simply wonderful.

Are these moguls? I like the tree, and its placement in the frame with the curves. Without the tree it would be a little to abstract for my taste

 

Wonderful image, very good placement of the tree. The only thing I would suggest you do next time is to wait for a chickadee to come along and perch on the tip of the tree (but first leave a note telling the authorities where to start looking for you).

Your portfolio is best I ever seen. I do landscapes to In British Columbia, but I can't measure with you. Your pictures are alive! Even without havy postprocessing as most do.

Elegant...
