    Re: Across the road - Winter Scene

    I like it. Nice colors in the sky and clouds and nice contrast between the deep red of the buildings and the snow. I also like the composition and placement of the moon. The only thing I would do is crop out the green building and pine tree on the right of the frame. They draw my eye away from the rest of the shot.

    Thanks Ed. I thought of doing that but I didn't couldn't do that and leave the red garage intact, and I did want to show the snow stuck on the side of the green shed.

    You cut off the left side of the other building and I think that looks fine. I don't think the green shed does anything to improve the shot.

    Simple and clean. It's a bit soft and I am not overjoyed with the far right green structure, but I like the placement of the moon, the clean snow and the red houses. The tall tree works to inject some height variation.

    Welcome to the boards btw!

    Thanks for the comments - I cut off a school bus on the left side. I do agree that the green building would be best cropped.

    agreed, that green shed is an eyesore in this shot.

    I agree. It will have to wait until I can play with it in LR.
