really like how this visually conveys the aural muffle of a serious snowfall. also, blanketed reminds me a lot of pillowy, no sheet.

I kinda like the concept here. it almost works. If I could see a bit more of the glass/window you are looking through I think it would really have been a nice added element that portrays an creative idea. However as it is now, the blurred image is mildly interesting.

I don't quite understand where you are going with this. I'm unsure of what your intended subject is, not because of the lack of focus, but because nothing has been accentuated by your choice of composition.

Not sure the blur added anything to this one. Not very dreamy.

Like the view you get when your windows are frosted over. Evocative.

I like the intentional soft focus/OOF of the entire picture. Yet it has enough definition to "figure out" the scene. If you've been on DPC for a while, this might not go over too well with the masses; I think voters will either love it or hate it. Great risky entry, it's one of those very under rated images. Good luck on the voting.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Very bold image - very brave to offer this up. I do see the in focus snow top middle of the image and in many ways it is the primer for the image. The overall effect works for me, it communicates the sense of 'blanketing' your title suggests and captures this in a way that an 'in focus' shot would not have. It isn't about the man or the trees or the house, it's about the snow and how it changes things.

Critical stuff: The shallow diagonal at the bottom of the image - although i perhaps adds information about the POV / vantage point, I think it does detract - a tighter crop may have been better.

Overall: A brave image which will probably get hammered. I find it rather effective.
