[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 6481, member: 1573"] Really good critiques, Joseph and Fotojack, and I agree completely (I wanted to make sure I was included in the "great minds" remark LOL :-) Premc, these are the elements I like in your photo: the general tone (snow and sky), the tree, expecially against the rosy sky, and the mountains in the distance. So along that line, I would try the following: 1. do a "vertical crop" up to maybe the gate post on the right --this will take out the house on the right and some other stuff that competes for the eye. 2. adjust the white balance so that the snow does not appear so blue --this would bring out the rosy color in the sky behind the tree (which is where my eye wants to travel) 3. if you have lightroom, play around a little with the tone curve so that you put a little contrast back in the sky and deepen the blue and rose colors.. 4. straighten the picture so that the horizon is level (actually, do this BEFORE you crop) 5. use the lightroom paint brush to lighten the trunk of the tree a little. That's what I would try if it were my pic. There are enough good elements in this photo to tweak it to your liking. Best Regards [/QUOTE]
