Small Comfort

Regarding the photo and the photo only - it has nice focus and I like the lighting as well as the contrasting colors. To me it's a snapshot that doesn't seem very to have much of a harsh environment and there is no use of anything outside of basic editing. I was hoping for more.

Farm House in a Barren Land

Barren? You're kidding me? I see trees, green grass, smoke coming out of a chimney suggesting a nice warm fireplace...it's anything but barren to me. It's a nice photo but I don't think it fits the spirit of the challenge. I was also hoping to see more photos that took advantage of the expert editing.

Ok, I'll have to take your word on it. Was hoping to see more expert editing techniques rather then snapshots.

You certainly took advantage of the expert editing...maybe too much??? Anyway, thanks for that...it beats looking at so many snapshots.

Is it burned? I think so, that's harsh. But, I was hoping for more photos that took advantage of the expert editing.

It's a nice photo...I'm not sure about being harsh...but, it's a very nice photo. I can see it hanging in a frame on a wall. Nice...

Twenty Below

Comment:
Yeah, I guess 20 below is harsh. Does the photo convey that...? ...somewhat. Is it expert editing, no, it's pretty basic...inverted. It's still a nice photo...the dead-center thing isn't very pleasing to me...it's your photo though and I'm sure you like it. The texture of the snow is the coolest thing...no pun intended. Over-all, I like it. I'm not voting but I'd give you an 8 if I were.
