Great angle, interesting shot. Crop maybe a bit tight on the sides.

Great winter scene. the subtle shadow from the snow drift is great. great exposure on the snow and love how the tree trunks are just limbness. gives a very bleak picture

Love the mood. The trees break up the snow a little, but they're dead trees and tell no tales.

I'm not fond of the positions of the tree trunks in the foreground. Could you have changed position somehow? I don't know... just a thought

What a bleak and fascination landscape. Particularly like that snaking blue shadow that pulls me in from the foreground. Great composition. 8

I like this. Have seen this same scene in Yellowstone..or one simular. I like the emptiness here.

Comment by Rasai:
I worked at 'The Geysers' in California and suffered a hearing loss (silence) because of the LOUD roar they sometimes produced. I don't think that this Geyser would have ever produced the Same ROAR! Compelling composure, Wondering now if it was a roaring wind or blast that came through the scene in times past that produced the snags?
