    yay it worked!

    Okay, I like the simpleness of this picture quite a bit. The tree in the right side helps set the perspective and sets a nice lonely mood. Including then fence is also a good compositional decision.

    I think with a little more processing though, this photo could really sing (as Marko would say). A bit of brightening at the bottomw, some sharpening and a levels boost should really enhance this photo. I would also crop out the bottom snow bank and have teh photo start at the bottom of the fence.

    just my

    I'm with Bambi on this...and I'll add I might try to lean this into more of a landscape orientation than the orientation it is now. My eye is travelling across the fence, one side to the other looking at the trees in the background and the contrast in the sky so if it were me I would focus in that direction, I think the sun at the very top can go also..
    Again others may differ in their opinions.

    Nice idea, but it needs to be in focus. I can't find anything that is. Also needs a stop or two more exposure (the key to making snow white in photos). You have good instincts though, so keep working on it.

    Not quite sure what you are asking here. Are you asking if you are allowed to post more than once in this thread? Or allowed to post more than one photo per day here? If so ... Yes and Yes.

    Pretty cool photo though. I like the minimalist idea. We drove out to Chestemere Lake in December and the coutryside looked like this. It was more than minus 30 that day so could not ask the driver to stop. :( I did take a couple from the car but the fence posts were blurred sadly.

    ah are you a student at the Alberta College of Art and Design? Was this shot with flim or is it digital? I only ask because my daughter at NSCAD is in an intro photo class and she has to shoot with a film camera. Fortunately we had a Minolta 35 mm that is my husband's

    and yes you can post as many pictures as you like.

    I took a night class at ACAD. Have take most of my classes at SAIT (night) but ran out of classes to take. I found this class made me think about what I am shooting. I really enjoyed it. Thankyou all for your input
