Comment by Pedro:
snow is really hard to expose...it confuses the cams for the most part - overexposes snow, and underexposes everything else. Fill flash is a great way to avoid it, but certainly not fool proof. best bet is to expose the snow, and adjust the rest later in PS or something. if it were a MEMBER'S challenge you could do it ;)

good luck,

Pedro

Comment by Dave Gordon:
A nice composition, but I'd like to see more detail in the metal and wood textures. Perhaps somewhat less contrast might improve it, or shooting at a time when the light is stronger and from the right-hand side.

Comment by Olyuzi:
You are not letting us see the beauty of these surroundings by blocking a good part of the image with the dark post on the left or the out of focus ice on top of it. The post does not show any interesting detail or color and so to my eye, does not add any value to the picture. In addition, you've lost detail in the snow and in parts of the background trees. I think the contrast is way too high here. Also, the line you've created with the edge of the fense leads to a puny, and insignificant tree.

I hope you didn't find my critique too harsh, but rather, constructive.

I would have taken it from a different angle, so that the fence could have got mor echaracter. Indeed beautiful, I love the colours. :-)

Could be more interesting and in better focus.

Nice composition, but a bit flat. Snow is a bugger to shoot, especially on a cloudy, grey day. Fits the challenge!

Filled the frame too much and the limo look's like it is about to tip over....with style of course.

Definately fitting of the challenge. Your sky seems to have some noise. There isn't a lot of color opportunity in this shot, but the whites and blacks seem a little dull.

I am not sure what this picture is trying to convey or what the exact focus point is supposed to be on. Sorry if I missed the point.
Looks a little noisy. Good luck.
