Snowy

Good call. I like #2 much better too. Now that I have something to which to compare.

The first image is considerably more striking than the second image imo. but it does look oversharpened as MA pointed out.

2nd image is way too flat and grey for me but it looks more natural.

Perhaps a third version with more contrast than the 2nd shot and 'some' sharpening would be in order....
Hope that helps - Marko

I wasn't going to push him that far :) But I do agree.

I'm game....

Looks good. Your snow is white, and you have a softer, more natural effect overall. Gives one the feeling of the cold, wet, and desolation of the snowy path.

yes I agree with Raiven :)

An improvement each time for sure. :)

Thanks everyone for the comments and for helping me along the way. Snow is harder than I thought.

Nice image. Great comp and I love the leading lines. Well done and another vote for #2.
