Bbbuuurrrrr! I immediatly got a cold chill. I like them all...........but I like the top one the best.
I scrolled up enough to lose the snow in the bottom left of the first one. And it gives it an interesting perspective.

These are cool, but are they too grey? It seems to me you want something more like this, but maybe that's just me. Take my free advice as worth what you paid for it...

Kelly, if you were to crop the lower left corner of your first picture to get rid of the snowy area and only have trees filling the frame this would make for a stunning abstract. I just love how these trees almost look surreal.

I don't really care for the three other pictures but we are stuck in snow 3 months a year downthere so these kind of scene are too common for me...

Kelly,
I really like the perpective on the road in photo number 3 (no mail boxes). The road seems to optically disappear into oblivian. Nice!

Very true! The potential for abstract here is huge. I love the colors of the brown on white, very nice and lovely shooting!

Kelly , I really like all three and they all have great appeal. I agree with what others said about shot 1 and also think Lava has done well with the levels adj.

Well, I have to agree with everyone on photo one...getting rid of the corner would turn it into a fantastic abstract. Nice tilt on the picture also, really adds a lot.

My favorite is number three...I love how the road draws you in and disappears into the snowstorm. This picture is well composed. If I had to offer a suggestion, it would be to make the sky in the upper left slighterly darker. This I believe would give the road more of a tunnel effect and draw you in even more.

Great pictures! Way to get out in what looks to be one really cold day. :)

Kelly,

Before I critique and forget my main question - how did you protect the camera?

I love all the shots - agree with lava about bringing down the grey into white and all the other comments.

My favourite N0. 3 - excellent

Those are great Kelly! I think the others have pretty well covered the subject - besides it'll take this Texan a couple of days to thaw out just from looking at'em!
