Ian, it looks like you managed to take full advantage of these unusual conditions.The composition here is excellent, with a great sense of depth. The foreground is spectacular with all the diagonal lines in the wind-blown snow. I also like your processing of the light on the spotlit mountains in the background. My only suggestion would be to add a slight bit of clarity or mid-tone contrast to the clouds in the sky, but that is a nit, this is a really nice image as presented.

That windswept V of snow makes a great lead-in. You caught nice soft light and baby blues too. Maybe brighten to group of dark rocks on the right as a small suggestion?

You took full advantage of the unusual conditions. I really like the edges of snow leading out into the scene. Fine wintery image.

Wonderful lines leading down to the lake. Glad no one trashed the pristine snow getting to the lake. That is always one of my biggest winter fears when shooting this type of image. Had it done to me in Iceland and had to figure a way to workaround. The atmosphere of the clearing storm with the subtle spot lighting is another nice detail to the image. Really nice work. An essentially white image, absence of color, never looked so good.

This is lovely Ian. I really like the lines leading down to the lake. Very nice sky and mountains behind to back it all up. Great work with all that white.

I really like the shapes of the snow drifts in the FG to lead your eye into this image. Also just love the whites and blues!! So pure and clean. There is a feeling of crisp, clear air on a winter day. Just lovely, I wouldn't change a thing.

That is very cool scene! Way to get out there and take advantage. My brain keeps wanting to pull the comp to the left to put that snow ridge in the brc but see why you didnt (to keep the peak back right corner). Still wondering... So cool though. weee!

This is nicely done, Ian. The sweeping compositional lines in the foreground pointing to the tarn in the middleground works well. The foreground lines also compliment the shape of the background mountains.

I can understand your excitement about this one. That sweeping foreground, leading to the partially frozen lake and the light on the peaks make this one of the most perfect winter landscapes I've seen.
