This truly is a beautiful image. It's hard to believe that it's snow!

As I stared at it I remembered an old cd cover I made years ago. The image is actually clipart that was on some advertising cd with generic images.



Like a few others mentioned, I think part of the appeal is the gentle curve of what appears to be a woman's back. The softness of the edges add mystery and anonymity. I think it's possibly programmed in the human mind to find the curve of a woman's body soothing.

This is about as perfect a wild animal shot as I can imagine - an excellent exposure. 10

Great texture and detail around the nose. Looks like a very pretty doggie.

I am completely awestruck by this. I have been watching some hares over the last few weekends, and despite spending several hours at a time, I haven't been able to get anywhere near this close. The exposure is spot on - and that given the technical difficulties of white on white! Absolutely superb.

Very nice and - and good control of highlights. But I wish you had cloned out that branch on the left...
I'll give you a 7 - would have been an 8 without the branch.

Very Nice Shot. I am not sure about the inclusion of the twig on the left though. It distracts from the subject IMO

Perfect focus. My only complain is the blurred twig to the left. What a beauty!

Very nice. I would maybe crop the branch out on the left, a little distracting and doesn't add to the photo.
