What a great capture that exudes "COLD"!

Out of focus, cool location though.

Very pretty scene with heavy snow falling. I like the gateway revealing the shack. The trees and fencepost make it look like it's tilted, though the roof is straight, so maybe it's just natural tilts.

Lovely composition. Would make a nice card.

Looks like a classic far away cabin. Good shot.

Brrr looks awfully cold. Nice timing with the snow.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like how you managed to capture the snow falling, but the image seems a bit underexposed and blurry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

cool capture
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Well captured and presented. But don't assume that because you have an affinity for your subject, the rest of the world will too. Otherwise, a good workmanlike photo.

great capture of the snow
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice feel of isolation, and needing to have shelter even if not heated.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 03:33:30 PM
Nice moment captured.

Interpretation of Topic: Nice Selection!
Photography: A big part of a good shot is being in the right spot at the right time and you certainly were. Great eye.
Viewers Reaction: Love this.

moody but a bit soft on the focus imo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:19:32 AM
hopefully someone's got better shelter in that weather, still a nice find, like how the gateway is open, makes it welcoming
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:43:54 AM
I like the idea of this but if it had been a bit sharper I would have scored it higher
  Photographer found comment helpful.

the focus isnt quite right
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:00:31 PM
Looks like a nice scene but it's quite fuzzy and not in focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 09:20:05 PM
nice winter scene. Personally would like the focus to be sharper
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:08:57 PM
Like a painting. Very nice work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:33:40 PM
I love the falling snow. This almost looks like a watercolor painting. But I don't get a sense of depth here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:07:12 PM
Lovely.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 08:32:29 PM
the focus is soft on my screen , wish it was crisper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:53:38 PM
Brrrrrr.... A welcome site to a traveler.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:27:12 PM
This looks really noisy for me and that makes it look like a snapshot. I wish you try more tweaking next time, because you had a great object and a good idea! Sorry if i was rude! Good luck to you!

I with this were in better focus. The colors and composition are pretty.

This photo could use some sharpness.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:14:50 PM
Looks like you need the shelter!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:54:47 AM
this reminds me of "Cold Mountain"...I'm not sure but was your shutter speed just a tad to slow...colors are a little flat
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:55:17 AM
The white looks a bit off to me
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 06:18:49 AM
Nice capture in the snow. Great to see still some color.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:35:40 AM
Good composition, nice winter shot. Little blur IMO.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:45:16 PM
Nice setting but sharper focus needed here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:19:11 PM
getting cold shivers just looking at it :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:44:53 PM
Im glad the storms are over here in KY. haha. Its blurred but it still kind of works. Very natural looking.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:27:39 PM
Nice. The falling snow really gives this a nice touch.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:27:08 PM
Image is a bit dark which is easily fixed. There are many artifacts and pixellation in this image which really detracts from it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:32:39 PM
i like this image, even thought the focus is soft, but the mood is great...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:40:07 PM
no definition or sharpness i'm afraid :(
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 01:21:52 PM
Emotive
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:53:18 AM
Wow...looks like a real blizzard!
On a good end, I love this in B & W. I see hints of red (?) so I'm wondering if you tried selective desat. What this photo needs is a big dose of sharpening and contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:04:10 PM
The graininess and lack of contrast arent helping me here. I do like the composition and the mood. Maybe a different method of processing would make it more interesting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:17:25 PM
Seem to be out of focus. Good idea. 5

Living in Canada, I have experienced this kind of weather often. Luckily, spring is around the corner and we should be out of it soon. Your photo captures the bleakness of winter well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:00:17 PM
Geezz, I hope not. ;-) This is a wonderful capture and very reminiscent of turn-of-the-century imagery. I love the subtle hint of red in the roof and the way you captured the falling snow. There's a lot of movement in this image. Very well done! 10

03/11/2009 01:22:00 PM
I thnik this needs to be much sharper. Sorry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:51:11 AM
I kind of feel like this needs more drama, like the woods behind the barn should be darker and scarier or something. Scenes like this are tough because the snow makes the light rather flat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:48:00 AM
so thats what snow looks like :)
maybe a bit further away would make it a little more interesting
