Danger zone

Hello all!

Sorry for being absent in the past month, but I took my time to admire some truly inspirational works you guys made.
It's finally spring here, but this is how it looked a week ago. Me and a friend decided to do this trek in Retezat National Park in hope of catching the clearing of the last snowstorm of the season. Unfortunately for us, the bad weather lasted longer than the forecast had predicted, but we had great time anyway (being blasted by furious winds). What you see here is a steep section of a stream illuminated by some subtle transient light. Thanks for any comments and suggestions.

I like the way you've composed this Dorin, the steepness and ruggedness comes through nicely.

This composition does a great job of conveying the steepness, I feel like I am going to slide down backwards just looking at it. The detail in both the snow and the rocks is great.

Dorin, I think you composed this very nicely. I love the somber feel until the top where the light really glows. the contrast and graphical organization of the snow and rocks is great.

Lovely subtle color and light. Really effective comp to lead the eye through the frame. Very well done.

Nice winter scene Dorin, I really like the soft light here, and the comp is quite interesting. I like drifting and textures in the snow. Nice find.

Pretty cool, Dorin--that's some serious snow! We just had a big snowstorm and another one is on the way friday night.

Excellent detail throughout, a really well made web presentation. I like the soft light playing in the snow, and the strong lines along the steep cliff in the right. An enjoyable scene.
