This is my "Gerda" looking for the Raven so she can rescue Kay (me) from the Snow Queen.

My "unbiased" opinion? :-) :-) I like the "fraction of space added" version! :-) Regards jnconradie

Thanks for the comments, Trav & Nico. Trav - Yah, I used to have those same problems when I lived in SoCAL, ha! Nico - This is a wet and VERY heavy snow and many trees in our forest broke under its weight, but this one is pretty stable cuz it doesn't have much foliage, tho you never can tell when they will break, ...so she isn't standing directly under it ":^). I know I cropped this so I'll go back and see if I can add a bit to the left of the tree. This was not a posed shot, rather a capture. Thanks again for the kind words. Cheers, -mikey

:-) Does one need special life insurance if one wants to stand under that type of branch, Michael? :-) Great colours: yellow, blue sku, perfectly white snow, the "glow" behind the snow, etc. Nicely captured. Also 10/10 for the title... plus a bonus point for humour. I guess I might have liked a fraction of space on the left between the tree and the edge of the pic, but I have no idea whether this was practically possible under the circumstances. Super work from "the one who lives with the llamas" - as always. :-) Regards jnconradie

Very Good colors, Michael, and I have problems with snow scenes...great balance and it is no easy task keeping the whites...white. And the image has a good structure. Best Wishes, Traveller
