I didn't get to this one during voting, but hypothetically would have been at least an 8 from me. I like your title, very apt.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review I'd hazard a guess that you are very pleased with the end image here, based on your comments. This would be lovely as a big big canvas type (or whatever) wall sized in a room. Very peaceful and relaxing, easy to wander off to another place.
Technicals all seem very sound, especially seeing that this is likely the end result you were wanting. The shallow DOF works well. I can't quite decipher if it is snowing or mist or fog or what, perhaps it is there 'larger', who knows - but the end effect of 'haze' (for want of a better word) adds to the feel in the image and works well, in my opinion.
The toning is good, maybe a little more definition here and there - don't know, would likely change it too much and create just 'another' image. The main reason I mention this is that the 'flat' b&w just seems... 'plain' - but that's the whole idea. Simplicity in scene and presentation of such (guessing here, or it is my interpretation).
Composition is good, I like the way it trails off to the right.
Comments, Score & Placement Review 148/378 is a bit of a shame, I guess not enough voters stopped to appreciate this image/scene - or perhaps they did but it didn't connect with them... who knows.
7.66 from your commenters - all of which were in unison it seems. I'm a little surprised the average from them wasn't higher... but there ya go.
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: What a beautifully composed image - very subtle indeed. It communicates a sense of silence and delicacy. I like the way that nothing has been 'pushed' in the edit and as such the image feels honest.
