visualreality, Welcome

Although it pleasantly reminds me of walking in Winter as a youngster, it also feels like it's tipping to the right. The lighting in the separate layers of snow (bottom center) is especially nice. Could be better with a more definite subject, odd leaf, feather, any contrasting element.

You can link to other pictures for those who want to get a better sense of the context in which they were taken.

Anyway, back to this one - I think it works very well. Lots of lines but there is a sense of pattern to them, being very dense over on the right and sparser on the left. The blocks of snow, sky and very out of focus background provide a good background for the criss-cross geometry.

One thing that might have pushed the picture a little further forward would have been a touch more light from the foreground (either a reflector or a low-power flash) but you would need to keep it light enough so as not to lose the backlighting effect.

Nice work.

Thanks Wulf for your comments. Very helpful for me since I am learning.
