Final image from along the waters edge and the reason the town is called Whitefish Falls.

Sparkling greenery, nice shot.

I particularly like your natural water treatment here. I can still feel the cold with all those snows...Good shot.

I can feel the fresh air, I like the soft light and colors in the image I would crop the image form the top just a little bit to eliminate the thin line just above the bridge ( but I would leave the concrete curve of the bridge in the frame of course).

As Binnur said, one can feel crisp winter air

Nicely composed and captured.

[DanK]

A very nice image--well composed, and attractive. However, it seems to me that the white balance is off. It seems too blue, which is common in snow shots. I tried warming it a bit, and I think it looks better. You might want to try it and see what you think.

Dave - I was thinking along the same lines as Dan. The blue shadows in the scene, especially as you look through the bridge give a bit of a strange look to this image (and this is all too common on sunny day shots in the winter). Anything to make the shadows more neutral would help, but you also have to be careful to not add a yellow cast either. Snow should look white.

Dave,

I just took a few minutes while at lunch and did a very quick change--just +10 on the temperature slider in ACR. I didn't try to fine-tune it; I just wanted enough of a change to illustrate what I meant. See what you think.

Thank you for the kind comments and thanks Dan and Manfred for the pointers on getting the snow white balance more accurate. Does look better.

Dave part of the problem with photographing snowscapes is that the colour temperature can exceed 10000K (versus the standard 6500K for daylight), so cameras normally screw these types of shots up all too easily.

Take the shot during "golden hour" where you get warm light from the setting sun and the reflection of the sky on the snow and shadow areas, it can be a real struggle to make the image look "right".

So beautiful
