I like the composition and the sense of being enveloped in a snow storm (we have no snow here now--we could really use some). Neat shapes. --mlynn

Well, I did go back and hit it with contrat/brightness + shadows/highlights and was able to get a bit more definition out of it. Thanks for the suggestion, Nico. Cheers, -mikey

Thanks for the comment, Nico. Its always good to hear from you. As for the impact, I agree, but this is a true representation of what I saw and indeed it was not just a snow storm, it was a HEAVY snow storm. I kind of liked it for that reason. There's only so much to do with it, seems to me, beyond the Recycle Bin. Cheers, -mikey

Interesting... but perhaps not quite impactful enough, Michael? I am not too sure though what could have been done about it... more contrast? bw? .... have to think about that. Looks like it was taken in the middle of a snow storm? Regards Nico
