Congratulations on your ribbon for your excellent submission, I like everything about this image, the minimalist approach, the composition, the colour its all working well together. Perhaps the only minor criticisms I would have concern the darker ridge of trees(?) at the lower right and a wish that the foreground snow was pristine and undisturbed.
The lovely red of the house in it cold surroundings very cleverly conveys a warm and inviting feeling as succinctly put by one of your commenters. Talking of commenters your first comment has berated it for all the things that for me work so well, it just goes to show you can't please all the peopleā¦
Takk for the pleasure of critiquing such a gorgeous image, Sid
Just when I was about to give up. Everything was numb. My breathing had gone from panicked and fast to slow and it was as if I was about to go into permanent hibernation. A glimpse of red. Warmth. Hope. Just a few steps away. I knew I could make it. 8
