Beautiful capture, timing and composition. Not sure if it is noise near the top, or shimmering water but it definitely adds to the 'fine art' feel.

Would I hang it on my wall. Probably not, but still a nice picture. However I judge on what I would hang in my apartment. I can only give you a 4 here.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: An interesting shot - almost abstract in its composition, with the red barn acting like a block of colour. I like the stark white too - it gives a sense of complete coverage.

Critical stuff: The tree line - of course there's not a lot you could do with the composition but I wonder how selectively darkening the sky may have worked to de-emphasise the trees and allow the barn and snow to be placed into even more stark contrast.

Overall: A nice image; one that I'm pleased to have viewed.

The repeating patterns on this long building grabbed my eye.

Blue green tint doesn't appeal to me, else, nice crisp image.

This is a very simple subject but it's quite beautiful! The details are amazing and the background is a lovely shade of many greens.

Good composition and DOF. I like the softer colors.
