Snowy Landscapes

This gorgeous photo drew me in immediately! Plenty of snow evokes the winter while the lighted chalet beckons the viewer to its warmth. The composition is excellent, showing the icy foreground and reflection, all the way to the snowy mountain top in the distance, with everything pin sharp. Congratulations on First Place and winning "Snowy Landscapes"!

The simplicity of this view captured my attention! The elegant curves of the hills with the snow clinging and drifting made for an almost abstract composition. The single tree gives the viewer a sense of the harshness of the environment. Well done, and congratulations on 5th Place in Snowy Landscapes!

This amazing photo captures the wide expanse of this environment! The Emperor Penguins make the scene, and give it scale, along with the distant icebergs and open sea. It is truly a privilege to see this image and congratulations on 8th Place in Snowy Landscapes!

This photo makes the viewer understand the frigid winter with a glance! It is very well composed, with the road curving diagonally, and all the hoar-frosted trees on either side. Everything except the road has snow or ice on it, and the slightly cooler tones pull everything together. Congratulations on 3rd Place in Snowy Landscapes!

Of all the snowy road photos, this beautiful image stands out! The composition draws the viewer into the countryside, and the snow on the trees and bushes imply a recent snowstorm. The blue sky brings it all together now that the storm has passed. Congratulations on 7th Place in Snowy Landscapes!
