Sorry, the additional information wasn't posted. I wanted a picture that showed a couple staying together during the worst of times. Does this picture convey this? Is the picture too busy with the snowfall? Is there anything to improve it? Thank you in advance for your comments.

Jason, great picture!

I'm not sure about representing what you intend it to (staying together etc.) but...

in graphic quality and as an aesthetic it is super - composition wise; the snowfall is not busy- it gives a texture to the image along with the trees and enhances the mood IMHO. I remember your last one at the station and I admire you keen sense of understanding what works in monochrome rendering..

all the best.

I love this.. I'm not sure if it says about staying together in the worst of times, but I like this.. It certainly says something about love.. About a cold day..

The snow is neccesary and adds to the picture.

Technically I can't find a reason to fault this. May be the couple could be slightly higher in the frame, but I think the vast space above them adds to the drama of the picture..

Great shot!

Not sure about the staying together through thick and thin idea though. To me it suggests struggle and the vast unknown beyond the curve in the road.

Thank you all for your comments. I really appreciate you help and time.

This is nice. Sometimes a great photograph (or any piece of art, for that matter) doesn't have to directly translate to a theme of some kind. Sometimes it just evokes a mood, or an emotion of some kind, something that you can't put directly to words.

Technically, this is well done. The B/W conversion is nice, and I think the couple is placed at an appropriate location within the frame.
