    Nice image, good composition, and exposure, but I'm not fussed about the treatment. Yellow snow doesn't work for me; I'd much prefer black & white.

    This is VERY well done!
    I don't see yellow here....It looks sepiaish on my monitor.

    MVT - is there a cast on your monitor? if so what colour?
    Thx!

    Thanks All. Hi Marko, yes it's sepia toned. No colour cast on my monitor (at least I don't think so). I calibrate monthly

    i like this too.. maybe it would be better if you took like 3 or 4 steps to the right and that way you avoid a little bit of the stuff in the bottom left of the photo, which is only slightly distracting. that would also give a different, diagonal, line for the water. it would be a different composition for sure, maybe wouldn't work at all, just throwing it out there.. and then of course you could get lower for yet another perspective. so I'd step to the right and get low and see how that comes out. cause the exposure and sepia and all that works well. or am I not making any sense?

    what a cool shot- I really like the way you've got a focal point- the water leading to the little gap in the brush. Good stuff. Nice in B&W too.
