Comment by Haneck:
I love this. The elegant, subtle mood you have captured here is glorious. I really like the composition... Well done. When I read the title "Trees of Snowfall," I almost subconsciously started looking for the snow, saw it, and really liked it. Even if I hadn't seen the title though I think I still would have realized it was snow. And since I've always wanted to get a picture of a winter scene and somehow capture the falling snow as well, I would have been thrilled anyway.

Just a thought.
Great photo! :)

Hmmm I'm wondering if those who did not recognize the specs as being snow maybe just have never seen snow before? I'm not familiar with what framing traditionally means in photography, but in here I do see several things being framed: the several layers of trees and the snow. I do like that you used natural framing instead of artificial, with the vertical trees running up the sides of the picture. I think if you had an aurora borealis floating in the white space up there, it would have won the challenge :D

To me, this feels more pinched than framed. It's an interesting shot though with a very strong mood.

Jayson, I think this is a great example of natural framing. Some people just don't understand.

Don't hate it because it's beautiful. Not every fantasy is rebellious. You played this well.

Very abstract shot Jayson. Looks like a weld.

The title on this one helps as I didn't see the snow at first glance. The side uprights grabbed my attention first. Technically, this meets the challenge with the foreground framing just fine. I think what may hold it back on scoring is subject matter; it's kind of dark and gloomy. Nothing personal, just making an observation. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Amazing to see the detail you pulled out of the image, just by going nuts with the sliders. ;)
