You nailed the exposure to get the maximum detail from the snow. Wonderful texture to it. Great! Hope this wasn't taken in the Bay Area today.

simplicity at its finest, great detail in the snow; the right side grass almost feels intrusive, but it does help balance the tight fit on the left

I've gone back and forth on the comp and including or losing the right grass - here is the alternate - thoughts, please?

Sandy, I was going to also suggest you lose the grass encroaching from the right. I think the repost is a definate inprovement. Very artistic image. I keep trying to capture something similar for my files but so far I've got nothing as nice as this.

The repost is much better, Sandy.

Lovely details Sandy! I like the angle of the stems. The repost is much nicer in my opinion.
