Thank you for submitting your photo to DPC, Free Study VIII.

A great caputure of snow scene at a ski lodge. The sepia tone effect gives it old time retro feel. The surrounding mist provides it's own noise or grain to the image. It is very interesting how you decided to photograph it from a long distance. Giving it an almost private observer feel to it. The high crop to the top of the frame gives it a spatial comfort. It almost like you were you not really in the spot but just became one with the area.

It take some courage to post this image as some viewers will not relate to it. It is very well done. Very artistic, and you have to spend time looking at it, to make it work. I like the three different groups of people standing around. You can almost hear them talking. Their details are lost but that is not so important to the message of the photo.

I do have a comment about the title. It's is kind of cryptic and long. Sometimes we tend to relate the title and image to make a point of reference. With only seconds to view and vote on photos, most won't take the time to figure out the message. This would will ultimately take away from positive voting.

Great capture. Good luck in your next DPChallenge.

I really like the photo, the grain and the sepia tones work very well imo. I don't care much for the title though and I don't get the link with the ski lift, but still a powerful and very original shot. 8

effective use of grain, I love the idea, but feel the subject doesnt really suit the technique - the ski-lift spoils it for me, has a great "turn of the century" feel to it.

Sepia was a very good choice for this photograph. Looks like something that came from the old trunk in the attic.

i'm sure the title means something, but an not quite sure how to relate it to the image. the image itself looks to have potential, but i think the processing has been pushed a bit too far. as is, i'm not finding much to connect with.

Strange ..., interesting....moody.
Is the noise added in post process?

I like the mood of this shot that you created with the warm and soft lighting.

takes guts to enter that much grain here. I like grain in this instance - very interesting image.

Why would you pick a ski slope (modern activity) for this aged technique? You did a good job aging it though.

grainy has never worked well here, no matter how well applied or appropriate - should be interesting

Neat. Really does look like an old-time photograph.

I really like the photo, but the title suggests something other than a modern looking ski lift..

I see what you are trying to do. The grainy look does make it look oldeny. I'll give you a 10 because it is differant and I like that!

Neat picture, but the noise is pretty distracting.

I am sure you are getting hammered for the "quality" of this shot but I like it, at least enought to give it a 6 and mainly because of the "feel" to it. Good luck in the challenge.
