Overlooking God's creation

What is that long, skinny thing in the picture? I know you have probably already received the proverbial "too dark" comment but it is pretty dark - I always seem to submit photos that are too dark. That stick thing is pretty interesting, I wonder what it is?

Looks almost b & w. I think it's too dark though. I love snow (except when I have to drive in it)

Big Horn Mountains

Shame on you!!! You beat me! I haven't seen all of the photographs yet but this is the winner in my book. I sure hope you send us a link to the full-siize photo. Now, what do I like about it. First, the panorama, second the colors are beautifully saturated, third, the layer, the golden plain, rolling hills, snow capped mountains and finally incredible sky. The photo is excellent quality, beautifully sharp and expertly exposed, and then the composition. They say never to cut anything in half (I don't listen to what they say) but you have done exactly that It's brilliant. Congratulations!

What a contrast! Just wish it was a little clearer but the composition is excellent. Amazing.

Excellent composition. Sheer perfection. Your b&w has wonderful contrast. There's not an element out of place. If an painter were to paint it, it would be exactly like this, I think.

Our Front Yard

Gorgeous! For some reason the rainbow looks out of place. I think it's becaus of the beautiful warm tones you're getting from the afternoon (or early morning) sun and the rainbow is cool colors. I love it. The light you captured is amazing, so is your front yard!

Wow, what is that? Your photograph exudes wild, turbulent seas. The b & w accentuates that. Interesting.

House in the Snow

Beautiful scene. I love that you shot the long foreground. The only think that I would make it better for me would to have the small structure in the picture entirely, I know that sometimes it isn't possible but it would keep me inside the photo rather than searching for something outside the frame.

River Lagan: Frozen

You know, this soft focus really works! It adds beauty to what could be a not-so-pretty scene (because of the winter browns). I think there is a little too much in the picture. Although the thick branch in the right side is plus, the small skinny branches on the top of the frame are not - perhaps some PC cloning after the contest?

At the Rivers Bend

Those tress are amazing! I guess that's what erosion does. I think the composition would be better if you weren't so tight on the trees because there isn't a complete element in this photograph that I can see so I keep searching for something to look at. Colors are wonderful - the blues really stand out with the bland winter foliage amd it's wonderfully sharp and clear.
