[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
High upon a hill in Stowe Vermont is a riding stable where my daughter works. I photographed this barn in the summer and decided it would be a good comparison to photograph it in the winter as well. The snow was 5' deep just so you have an idea the kind of snow that was there . Stowe is located deep in the mountains of Vermont Stowe being on Mt. Mansfield the highest Mountain in Vermont. The snow was falling and it was a beautiful sit for sure. The photo is almost naturally black and white on its own.
Thanks for visiting my gallery and your comments on my photos!

Hi Donna, and it is still snowing now?
Well composed view, and the colours look very Black and White. I like seeing the snow falling too, and the whites have come out well. Nicely done

I love this scene, very serene winter story, good composition. I would have chosen a different frame, however, seems to take away from the scene. Otherwise very good photograph!

Hello Donna,
This is a superb winter scenery with nostalgic mood. This exposure is perfect and this is well composed. Thanks,
Claudine

Heyyyy, nice one! Love the flakes that are falling down. Big difference in snow in city and countryside

Bonsoir Donna,
Very nice composition and lovely winter landscape with snow..Well Done

Hi Donna...as I sit in Singapore looking at this shot it does make me wish that sometimes I was back in Scotland!

The slope here works well, makes the scene more interesting and the two main features, the barn and the tree, compliment each other nicely.

Good shot, well done!

Hi Donna,
Lovely winter capture.Great soft colours, POV and compo.TFS.
Cheers!

Beautiful winter scene and atmosphere. I like the small cabin, the falling snow and the tree. The photo expresses very well the melancholy and the isolation of winter.

TFS ,

Good composition Donna.
Your title fits the scene very aptly.
The colours are so subtle but just right for the shot.
You managed the light really well.
TFS, regards Jean.

Very nice wintery Landscape Donna. You made a good compo, lots of detail, and nice job in capturing the falling snow. Love the birch tree. TFS

Simply exquisite Donna. Well composed and lovely colour and detail. Frames are a personal choice and in my opinion this one fits the mood. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Little Dove I’

Hi Donna,

Love the composition with the barn on the left and the tree on the right. Having all that snow in the FG gives a strong entrance and the fell of all that deep snow.
Can't wait to be back in Vermont for a visit, soon I hope.

Hi Donna! Superb wintery scene! So realistic! I love the proportions in the composition, the barn off centered and the trees in the bg.

Very nice monochromatic image, very sharp. It's nice to see the snowflakes falling.

Take care, Yan :)

ps: many thx for your critique on "Lake Philipp Pathway" :)

Hi Donna,
looks familiar hahaha woke up yesterday to a snowy Easter Sunday.
Wonderful shot, not easy capturing the snow falling , but you did very well. Lovely compostyion, POV, scenery and the mood you captured are wonderful.
TFS..Sky

Hello Donna,
The light and colours here are so typical winter, everything looks like black and white!
A well composed image with good layer balance...
Quite a substantial amount of snow!
Greetings,

Hi Donna,
Great shot. I actually wondered a couple of minutes if it was a colour or a black and white one...
Actually I also wonder how it would look in sepia. Lets make a workshop if allowed. Be back in a min...
