Nice bumps. A shot from ground level may have been very interesting here. You would get the mounds in shot as well as a lot more background. Though I do appreciate this would probably require lying flat out in the snow!

I love this scene, but feel the snow is too grey/blue. Too much noise, as well. Composition is nice.

I didn't know snow would form piles like that unless people skied on it.

...from Critique Club...

Hi Alan

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Freaky!! I like it!

COMPOSITION:
Perhaps the weakest point of the photo. There seems to be too much stuff in the frame distracting from the main subject..'da chair' (still freakin' me out). The shot also doesn't seem to be leveled. The lamp reflection is the biggest distraction though. :(

TECHNICAL:
Good. I don't mind the 'brightness' of the shot as it sure sets the 'freaky' mood. Focus is good...just by looking at the floor. But that lamp, Alan...it's gotta go. :|

ARTISTIC:
Awesome. It sure is an original shot. The tones you used and the harsh lighting make this a creative shot, IMO....and that chair is still freakin me out..I swear, it's moving on the screen. :)

OVERALL:
Very cool idea which could be improved by 'removing' alot of the useless elements...IMO. :))

Best of luck in the future. Don't hesitate to PM me if you have any questions about this critique.

Cheers...zadore.
