Hi Donna,
Wow....impressive shot of a stormy winter landscape. Great mood, I can feel the cold through my monitor.
Fine light, regarding the composition; maybe some more (empty) foreground to ballance the compositiona bit more. Nevertheless afine posting and tribute to the theme.

Hi Donna,

Good picture and you have capture well the effect of the wind on the trees and blowing snow. Having those seven trees in the FG is a good composition. The blue tone also gives a nice mood.

Question: I notice 6 dots in the sky. Are those flying birds?

Hi Donna, well I think you achieved very well in capturing the wind and snow. A very common scene these days, good exposure, detail and enough of a blue cast to help show the cold temps. I really like the contrast in this image. Nice work Donna!

Happy New Year

Hi Donna, thanks for the comment on my "footsteps in the sand" shot. It reminded me that I had not looked at your site for some time. I love this shot, sitting here in Bahrain with the evening temperature a balmy 80 deg F outside it made me realise what a diverse world we live in! Cheers, Les
