What a gorgeous scene! Bravo, Michael.

Real pretty winter scene. I would probably clone out (or second choice crop) the sky, but not a real big deal. I tried it and preferred it cloned out. Winter at its best in this one.

Hi Michael,

I really like the contrast and the texture in the foliage in this scene. Well processed in my opinion.

A really sweet winter scene Mike. You have just the right amount of water left unfrozen here, and of course the trees look wonderful. The composition is also nicely balanced, but I agree with @Harley_Goldman that I would clone that patch of sky at the center top.

Oh, this really has to be seen large to be fully appreciated! The subtle details and textures are superb and your tones are perfect. Superior capture and processing, Michael.

I very much like the bend of the river coming from the left. The alternation of coniferous and deciduous trees makes it very lively. Great tonal range. That little patch of sky has already been mentioned. Beautiful winter scene.
