    Awesome view. Normally, when it snows in our area in Oregon - which is rare - I prefer snow cover that covers up the tan grass. But the weathered grasses in your image really look great. There are many interesting aspects to the image and few seem to overpower.

    I really love the first shot. The colors are spectacular. It reminds me of the great colors that I see posted by people using Velvia film. I would love to know what you did in post processing for this image.

    I just sharpened the image a little, then I used Image>selective colors, and richened the neutrals. This is in Photoshop CS.

    thanks for the feed back.

    I only have one thing to say - SPECTACULAR

    Love the photos not sure about the frame though

    The first photo is brilliant. I love it!

    The second I'm ambivalent about, but it's not bad

    Cheers,

    Hi Carumba!! The first one have an incredible visual impact. The colours, the fog in the background and the crystal clear reflections in the foreground all work very well together.

    I guess that the second picture just don't have the same "in your face" (so to speak) impact but it is still a well executed photograph.
