What technical feedback would you like if any? Comp OK? Aand I hope that this image looks as cold as it was yesterday morning.
What artistic feedback would you like if any? Any suggestions or comments appreciated.
Pertinent technical details or techniques: D500 200mm f4 (1/100 sec at f16, Iso 640) 7 image stack with PMax (Zerene Stacker), Levels, Rubber Stamp tool for dust bunnies, Luminosity Masks for Midtones and Deep shadows with Curve adjustment. I edited the image in Zerene to remove artifacts and chose the image with the best BG. Finally, Brightness & Contrast and cropped about 1/6 from the bottom.
(If the background has been replaced, etc. please be honest with your techniques to help others learn)

Brrrrr, Jim, this makes me feel even colder! It is in the low 20’s here in NC this morning, so the perfect image to view while drinking my coffee. I love this image. This shows the early snow and cold temps by the snow piled onto a sunflower. It is like the seasons are colliding. The composition looks good to me. Everything about the image actually. Great shot of the first snowfall.
Jim: Marvelous find and a superb capture. I especially like the detail in the snow and the almost monochromatic presentation. Well seen and rendered. >=))>
Poor flower. I feel its pain. What an early start to winter this year, but it gave you a great subject to shoot. Amazing details in the snow and the scene actually made me shiver. Great shot!
A beautiful detail of winter and I like it a lot. Personally I would have provided a bit more negative space on the right and then in the same proportion a tiny bit at the top and the bottom.
Grt, Ingrid.
