Beautiful, Harry. The tree outlines add a strong graphic quality to the image and hold the comp together quite nicely. Very nice!

Like this lots of gorgeous lines and a gorgeous soft winter palette. Great etched image of winter trees en mass.

Beautiful image Harry, this one almost looks like a painting. I like how you were able to incorporate some beech leaves to add a splash of color. The processing here is great, I really like the white balance you used for this one. In taking what I call "tree tapestries", it can be difficult to get separation of the subject trees from the background, but you have done an outstanding job of achieving separation here.

Harry, I like this image alot! Wonderful job finding and setting up this composition. The leaves add a very nice touch to this and like Ed I really like the white balance you have used here. The snow was just right by letting the dark edge of the trees show just enough to give nice separation from the background. This looks like it would make a very cool print. Excellent work!!

Excellent graphical image, Harry. It's really nice to wander through the frame and discover every little details. Also great the contrast with the colored leaves.

The black outlines of the trunks makes this different in a good way. The brown leaves add a nice hint of color to an otherwise monotone scene.

Harry,
Right up my alley! This is outstanding. Impossible to be critical here, but of course one can always be picky. This suggestion is probably a result of my natural bias against the longer digital format, so keep that in mind. Minor suggestion would be a slight crop off the bottom, say to where the large trunk on the far left starts to curve back to the right. How's that for picky!

Love the painterly look here. The lines of the trees add a lot of interest. The splashes of color of the leaves, though still muted , make a nice contrast to the snow covered trees.

The dark outlines and flat light really make this one stand out. I love the little touch of color that the leaves add. Outstanding.

This is gorgeous, Harry. My only suggestion would be a slight crop from the top down to just above the curved branches on the right side. I really like the spots of color. Your processing looks great.

This is gorgeous. The overall monochromatic look with those warm colored leaves works beautifully. Framing and processing look good to my eyes. Nicely seen.

Amazing what you can catch through a car window ;D The brown borders give a cool stencilled look to the image and the splashes of coloured leaves top off a wonderful photo.

Gorgeous Harry. Love this as presented, no suggestions. The small splashes of color from the leaves really make this image stand out for me. They offer the perfect addition.

Sweet! I love the graphics in this one with the dark outlines of the trees and the snow sandwiched in between, Harry. The leaves do add a nice little splash of color to this winter scene. Beautifully done. Sometimes it is nice not to have to brave the elements and come away with something as beautiful as this.

Congrats on the EP, Harley!
You framed this composition in an excellent way and your processing conveys the subtlety of the textures wonderfully to me.
