Thumb-up Thumb-up    from fozzi/Andy (3,592) Send mail to this user on April 2, 2008 2:59:31 PM CDT (2)

Hi Carina, beautiful picture. I like the different tones of blue from the sky and the row of trees which guide the viewer to the farmhouse a lot. But I have to agree about the horizon. And perhaps you could crop out the part left from the house. But it´s anyway a very nice picture ... no wonder ´cos your entire portfolio is marvelous. Greetings, Andy

Thank you very much for those kind words Andy! I should absolutely straighten up the horizon on this.. And the cropping is a good idea as well :) Best regards, Carina

This is a wonderful landscape! With the white trees as the dominanat element, it almost looks as though this is an IR image. The diaganol line created by the trees is terrific. I wouldn't change a thing. Congrats! Ken

Hi Carina, Great photo. Beautiful colors and contrast. The viewer would instincively follow the line of trees towards the farm house in the horizon. Seems like this place have suffered ice fog that leaves ice needles in the grass and on the trees. My only critisism would be that the horizon is not entirely straight, hence "only" two thumbs. Thanks for sharing. Rgds Are

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. Beautifully captured, Carina, and a nicely composed graduated tree line. You can almost feel how cold that morning was!

Thumb-up Thumb-up    from kraku/Sami (107) Send mail to this user on December 30, 2007 7:25:08 PM CST (5) Early critique

Very nice! Composition is excellent as are the colors. The only thing that I feel could be better is she shadow areas of this picture: the shadows are quite grey and could use some bluish tint to them.

Thank you for your critique Sami. Maybe I could bring more blue tint into the shadow areas to make it less Grey. But I think there is a fine balance between where it starts to look unnatural.. I will look into that. Best regards, Carina

Perfect! love the leading line of the trees - that diagonal is awesome! The color of the sky is very appealing, and the weight of the snow of the trees is really cool. I also like how the furrows contrast with the diagonal of the trees.

I wish the 2 1/2 feet we have here were as nice as the snow you found! :)

Thanks for sharing!
