Re-visiting a spot I've photographed before. I like the simplicity of this image. Made at dusk on a cloudy day a little while ago.

I like the high key, stark presentation Samatha.

A really nice high key image. Some may not like all that empty white space on the top but I really like it. Gives it a desolate and frigid feel to me. The trees are beautiful as wel..

This is a wonderful shot. I'm a big fan of these kind of winter scenes. It reminds me of Chuck Kimmerle's images.

Simplicity was the first word that came to my mind, too. It reminds me of Japanese art - very minimalistic yet loaded with meaning in just a few brush strokes.

Nice winter etching. I love the graphic quality that snow can give landscapes. I just drove home through fog and snow and this reminds me a lot of what I enjoyed looking out of the car window.

I love this shot! Thats all Ive seen lately (being in Cochrane) and have been out looking for moody farm landscapes. I like the stark whiteness here, you've captured it well!

Great use of negative space to emphasize the wintry desolation and graphic nature of the scene.
