In a word - - GREAT
Personally I love it - - wish their was anything live in the shot .. any animal at all.. but none the less it is just beautiful I think.

Works for me! Nice shot...

Nice image, good composition, and exposure, but I'm not fussed about the treatment. Yellow snow doesn't work for me; I'd much prefer black & white.

This is VERY well done! :highfive:
I don't see yellow here....It looks sepiaish on my monitor.

MVT - is there a cast on your monitor? if so what colour?
Thx!

Thanks All. Hi Marko, yes it's sepia toned. No colour cast on my monitor (at least I don't think so). I calibrate monthly :D

[Marko]

Very well done - thx 4 answereing.
Can you also describe how you converted to b/w and got this LOVELY subdued shade of sepia?

Many thanks!
Marko

OK, just in case folks are interested - I've attached my Photoshop CS3 B&W settings.

i like this too.. maybe it would be better if you took like 3 or 4 steps to the right and that way you avoid a little bit of the stuff in the bottom left of the photo, which is only slightly distracting. that would also give a different, diagonal, line for the water. it would be a different composition for sure, maybe wouldn't work at all, just throwing it out there.. and then of course you could get lower for yet another perspective. :) so I'd step to the right and get low and see how that comes out. cause the exposure and sepia and all that works well. or am I not making any sense? :)

Dwayne nailed it. I can’t add anything more than BEAUTIFUL!

what a cool shot- I really like the way you've got a focal point- the water leading to the little gap in the brush. Good stuff. Nice in B&W too.
