| A beautiful abstract. The tones and soft texture is wonderful. I would never have guessed it as snow, but then again I’ve only ever seen snow a couple of times in my life. |

The thumbnail certainly demands opening up :)
Once open it doesn't however disappoint (not a nude) and then is more like a silk gown thrown down. Very smooth and almost abstract. Subtle light playing with the folds. Beautiful. I prefer v2 with the spots removed. Frame it and hang it, in A2. |

| Like everyone else I think this is beautiful. I had not realised it was snow and still can't quite "see" what it looked like originally. I thought it was fabric with your trusted spoon under the second "fold" giving it its shape :-) |

| I, too, love the sensuous lines and the flow of light and dark areas. As snow, I love the sparkle. As an abstract, I think I would take out the largest of the little white spots (streaks in full size) if this was mine - no one else mentioned them, but I find them distracting. |

| I thought fabric at first as well. Seems to exude a life of it's own, revealed and disclosed at the same time, ambiguously recognizable if that makes sense. |

| Sensuous is a good word for this. Very well done. Almost seems translucent. Love your work and your theme. I'll have to check out the full size viewing button. I've never seen that before here. |

| I would have never guessed this was a snowbank. Really, really beautiful. Sensuous and mysterious. Added to my favorites. |

| Another beautiful abstract. It looks very sensuous - I wouldn't have realized it is snow, but then, I don't get to see much of it. |

I didn't use the macro for this, but the 18-200 walkaround zoomed at 105. It's a rather large bank, by the side of a mountain road. Distance to subject is about 10 metres (guessing).
Like you say, it is quite interesting how much detail you can get in snow. I am always surprised at how not smooth snow is, and how many different surface textures it can show. This snow (Thursday) was ratherr granular. By contrast, yesterday's snow was a crystaline surface. F/11 (rather than my often used fully open lens) helps a lot! The hardest thing for me is white balance when it comes to snow! Exposure is also tricky with snow, so I use the sky for metering and the blinkies on the viewer after a test shot or two.

| Amazing. Hard to believe it is snow. Seems so peaceful. Great choice to do it in B/W. |

| I would never have guessed snow on this one. It looks like skin to me ... Maybe a woman's curves but no that can't be it either. ;) It's very pleasing to the eye and I love the tones and textures. |

Snow - imagine how many snowflakes have gathered in that bank to create such varying depths. It's so smooth and the shades of blacks & gray invite my eye in - this image has a beautiful sensual quality to it.
