I really like the composition, the layer of the trees and the beauty that this image has. colors of the grass and building are wonderful, I feel there was too much clarity, sharpness or structure added in on the trees which does not agree with my eyes, I can't seem to figure that out exactly what it is with the processing to explain it better, I apoligize, but the tones and warmth are super really nice and the temp is just right right :-) 6

I could easily see this ribbon in the Silhouette At Night challenge that just ended. Beautiful. One of my favorite shots in this free study.

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

Congratulations on your high placing for a lovely study.

The feeling of contemplation of your lone subject in this snowbound landscape comes across very strongly which from your title is exactly your intention I presume? I like the high key effect which is broken up by the dark clothing of your model. I like the general simplicity from the foreground stand to the background structures and trees which although fairly complex is reduced to simplicity by the lighting and uniform nature of the sky.

Your exposure is spot on, you have presumably used some +EC in camera or corrected post in PS but you have captured the essence of the snow with your wonderful whites without blowing out the highlights so although you are close to the limit you have detail throughout, well done. I can see what Madman2k means about the post on the right its sort of acting as a full stop, given the nature of the image I want to continue with my imagination beyond this point, I think I agree it would probably help to crop it out.

I'm pleased for you that it was so well received here, well done, Sid
