Lots to like in this one, a few things I'm not so sure about. I think the composition is strong, with that big old strong tree trunk on the right. It really "anchors" the shot for me. The fenceline with the trees (I like the fallen one) is nice, as is that strong element of the horizon with the dark trees in the background. The flare, I'm undecided about. At first I didn't think much of it, but I'm actually coming to think that it may be a positive thing - it seems to add to the feeling of cold in the photo. The tilted horizon I've decided is the only thing in this one that I don't like. I know, I know, I tilt shots a lot, but for this type of landscape, with it's strong geometrical elements, I wonder if a straight horizon might make it an even stronger image. Overall, though, I think it's still a very good photo. BTW, it's cold here, too. <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
