'Heaven'

"Over the top." I see this as a kind of caricture of the Ansel Adam's sky. It's a stunning shot, and it fits the challlenge.

Cold down here

I love the texture in the snow and the framing of the duck. Does not evoke AA for me.

Chapel Oaks Ranch

Much drama here. It's a great shot, but I wonder if the tree on the right is just a little too big and black? Or does it need to be exactly like that to anchor the photo?

Snowy Mountain

Everything more than 20 ft away looks a little blurry to me; can't tell if it's out of focus or atmospheric haze.

Strugle

I really like this photo; but I'm not able to connect it to AA's work. (quibble; that stone on the left edge would normally not matter much, but it is one of half a dozen identifiable objects in the photo, so I find it's placement distracting.

Strong contrast, yet there is detail in the snow. Crisp from fairly close out to infinity. The meandering stream is a super touch. Definitely evokes AA's work.

A photo Ansel himself might covet. Nice job.

Contemplation (lover's leap)
by holdingtime

Comment:
It's a beautiful, rugged place. I love the way the snow cover accentuates the rugged edges. It looks to me as if the photo is a little low in contrast for the challenge - it would be lovely to see some really punch blacks in some part of the photo. And while it is growing more and more the standard thing to add people to outdoor scenes to 'add interest' I find the person really distracting.

It's a clever shot. It may even deserve to win some competition; but perhaps due to my own limited exposure, it does not evoke AA's work.

The Art of Erosion

I'd have rated it higher if there were more texture in the white parts of the rock.
