Welcome to NPN Matt. Awesome first image. That’s a serious snowstorm and a great composition. Love the title too. Looking forward to more of your images and participation, Matt. Jump right in.

Thanks, David! Happy to be here! Yeah, I chased down these storms for a good photo more times than I’d like to admit. Haha. Thanks for the feedback.

Such a lovely shot and introduction. So delicate and poetic. Welcome here and I look forward to seeing more of your work!

@Ola_Jovall

Welcome Matt! What a great first posting, it is so full of feeling. I especially like the muted colors. One idea could be to crop some more on the sides arriving at a square crop (if possible), which IMO would harmonize with the feeling of your image.

Thanks for the feedback, Jovall! I haven’t thought of the square crop idea. I like those thoughts. I am definitely a fan of the square crop especially in minimalistic style photos. I’ll have to play around with that on this image to see what it’s like.

Well that is the most valuable thing of all! Then your images can be like a wave of happiness that keeps travelling and making others happy, too, who can see them By the way, love the composition. I think that it is perfect as is.

Welcome aboard and I hope you’ve found your new photography home. Odd to see winter now, but I like the shot. Looking forward to more images and conversation.

Thanks, Kristen. Haha yeah I guess I am longing for cooler weather already. Summer isn’t my favorite time of the year. Nice meeting you and I’m sure I’ll run into you again

Welcome to NPN, Matt! I absolutely love the photo you shared. The composition is fantastic and I love the feel of a snowy winter day. I hope you benefit from the NPN community as much as I have throughout my time as a nature photographer.

Thanks so much, Sarah. That’s a HUGE compliment coming from you. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I’m definitely looking forward to being on here and learning from talented photographers such as yourself
