The fog over the buildings in this photo is what first catches my eye, It is very thick and dense. Not to say this is a bad thing, but I wonder how it would look without so much denseness to it and we could see a silohuette or outline of the entire buildings. The imcompleteness of the building got my mind wandering up in the sky instead of leading into the frame
As for the scene before me, I think you did a good job capturing the wither solitude of this place, the white balance is nice, I love how some of the trees have the snow still in the branches. However, I wish there had been a bit more contrast in the sky.
I wonder also what this would look like in portrait mode? I think a bit of a crop off the left and the bottom may help a bit in lanscape mode. IMO, the thing that is missing for me in this shot that was in the fall one is the foreground subject.
That's awesome to see the same spot in different seasons! They're both so beautiful! Since I'm a winter-deprived Texan, my preference is the postcard looking winter one. I love that hazy skyline in the background. It really adds that punch of drama to it! Great job.
