Beautiful

Very nice, HDR right?

Beautiful photo, I'd love to take a walk there. I like the contrast.

You are correct jeaniblog

It's a really nice shot, but the brick road doesn't seem to be the emphasis. I think with the HDR the eye is naturally drawn to the clouds and trees

Congrats for your second place, Sodoff!

I can't say this looks like dramatic weather. Mainly because I can't really see anything focused. This is quite possibly the worse camera jitter I've ever seen. You shifted your camera while taking the shot and so the image shifted. One word: tripod

Thanks for your opinion Jawshoewah. I'd love to hear more comments. The steady shot is, to be frank, a boring photo of heavy snow.
In your view, is the way I've displayed it more dramatic, does it provide a greater sense of the emotion of the blizzard? Is it more artistic? Or is it just an out of focus shot? Tell me what you think. I can take it!

Author, I will never say anything but how I call it. I will admit at time there can be an exception to every rules, even camera jitter. But in this case it didn't quite seem to make it for me.

But what would you prefer? An honest comment or what a lot of people get? Nothing....

All criticism, whether critical or commending, is good, IMO.

Sorry author - I tend to agree with Jawshoewah. I don't think this manages to convey your idea very well

Thanks, keep them coming.

I like the tone.. My view is that this could have been better if the focus is on the centre of disk.. Anyway, yours good shot

nice, my fav

LOVE the DOF on this pic.
