This is really great abstract picture. The composition is fantastic. The smoother, softer focus texture in the lower left gives a sense of depth and leads to and from the more precise, detailed shape towards the middle that is echoed right above it in lighter tones leading my eye in and out of the photo nicely. The open area on the right balances the composition perfectly. Great Job.

Great photo! The composition is perfect. The slope of snow creates a really nice shape with the contrasting tree texture, along with the striations of shadow and snow.

Very nice shot. I like the texture of the tree, the flow from the rock down to the tree and back up the branch on the right.(parallel to hazy distant horizon.) I think the composition would be improved further if the angle were just slightly different so that the left branch had some seperation from the rock. I'd also like to see a color version or a bit more contrast to the B&W processing.
