Very nice framing Peter. It is just like Florida , trees , a picnic table and lots of water (albiet in a more solid state!). Was it a bit overcast ? I think the picnic table was the point of focus ? I really like the fact there are not tracks anywhere. Well cone.

I like the framing you have done with the tree as well, but I think there is too much wasted space at the bottom of this one. Move the bench down in the frame, lets get a little more tree, or crop it tighter. The wasted space here, especially since it is just white, kind of distracts and washes out the picture.

Nice shot Peter. I like the composition of this shot. For me, the snow in the foreground adds to the lonely, undisturbed, fresh snow feel. The only thing I would like to see is a bit more contrast.

I just looked at the full-sized version, and the constrast looks much better, so ignore my comment regarding contrast above. I like the shot!

Thanks Dave, Travis and Scott for your thoughts. I was trying to get the isolated lonely look to this shot and felt the open space worked better. I did crop it before posting and decided to return to the original version. As Dave said I felt it worked because there are no footprints in the snow. I do think Scott is right though and the shot does need a touch more contrast to give it a bit more kick. More work to do. Also I want to thank Travis for suggesting the thread. Great idea. I've learned a lot with this one.
