Quite transparent pictures!

I don't see how they could possibly be improved. ;~)

I love shots taken in blinding snowstorms.

Hmmn, I was going to take a trip there myself in a few weeks, but I don't think I'll bother now. Nice work.

I am the best at those snow scenes.

Ok now I figured this out.....

i see NC is having the same "problem", all the dead looking trees don't make for good color scenery shots..

1 - it appears the sign is in focus, not the child..a good shot none-the-less, showing him playing at such a high elevation...

2 - the foreground trees are distracting...

3 - a lower angel on the flag, yet still seeing the lower elevation in the background, just with less foreground distractions would have made for a solid picture..

i'm no expert, but to me, there is too much going on in each...maybe try cropping, and some post production to add some color...good start though, looks like a great place to get some great nature shots

Nice series! In my view the last one is the best!

Ahhh, now I'm seeing something. Much better. They're all nice, but I like the second one the best.

I understand the park closes at like 6:00 right now. Can you still get up there if you're camping? Or are you confined to your campsite?

Not sure, we stayed at a hotel in Asheville.
