I love this! Looks messy & structured at the same time. The lines of the branches all over the place contrast superbly with the straight ordered lines of the birdhouse

Nice high key shot, the blacks such as they are are quite graphical

Excellent capture of some very heavy snowfall, narrowing in on a purple martin house, trees and grass laden with several inches of snow as a microcosm of the area.

Getting the texture is hard. I like this. So real you could touch that snow.

Great capture, I like all the shapes and delicacy in the textures.

Lovely birdhouse in the snow with nice branch patterns.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks like they've got great insulation in the attic. Like the strong contrast between the snow and branches. A bit busy, but I think it works.

really can feel the season in this shot

almost works as an abstract image with all the black lines throughout the photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Delightful snow scene. I love the way the grasses ,branches and twigs form lacy patterns of black against the white snow. Would make a lovely seasons greetings card. 8

Would love to see a splash of colour such as a bird on the birdhouse.

Igloo bird house!!

Cold fluffy kind of snow. You handled the large amount of white in the image very nicely.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love a fresh snowfall.... its always a beautiful scene.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:56:43 AM
it's nice that the birdhouse stands out so well even though there are so many branches around
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:44:26 AM
Great use of light and contrast. Excellent detail!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good composition well treated in post. There is a tiny bit of pixellation going on here which is unfortunate.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:04:05 AM
wow, this is beautiful
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:46:59 PM

Nice tones. You caught the whites perfectly.

i miss some details
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:40:26 AM
I'm so sick of snow, but this is beautiful. I love the maze of all the branches hazardously pointing this way and that.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:00:21 PM
Beautiful setting. Would like to see the color shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:57:41 PM
I love it when snow looks like this. A little more lighting separation between the background, the birdhouse, and the foreground would have made this even better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:24:58 PM
White on white on white - works really well here!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:31:41 PM
I really quite like this - just has a nice quietness to it, yet somehow it's kinda cheerful. Maybe the promise of spring? And I like all the lines - everywhere!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:17:42 PM
Wow look at all that snow. It looks so cold, but pretty. Nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:01:26 AM
good composition, but the bird house gets lost in all the branches.... in my opinion
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:51:03 AM
Simple image, yet still holds the eye, well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:36:32 AM
