So cool! Are you going to produce this in B+W too?

I see what you mean, and I think you captured your thoughts very well with this one. I think the drama would get even stronger if you would turn this into a b+w. Nice work!

Albert,

This is excellent! Great vision here. I think having all grasses and small sticks throughout are needed to keep the snow just from being blank.

Of course you were there and I can see and understand your impression. Mine might have been "Circle of life" or something along those lines.

I love this one Albert! Way up there on my list of favorites from you.

Lon

A very quite and intimate image, Albert. I like the composition and elements. I would like to see a little more detail in the snow if that's possible. Otherwise very nice work!

This is a very elegant and thought provoking image, Albert. I love the simplicity in this intimate landscape, especially the grasses poking through the snow. Love the title BTW. You have produced some wonderful images this winter.
