What I should have submitted for the March Free Study. Glad to get another chance. Cropped, cloned out a distracting shadow in the upper right corner, adjusted contrast (curves), desaturated and colorized (slightly blue), and sharpened.
It's a shame that the sparkling highlights all over the snow didn't survive the resize down to 640 (even using the 'bicubic sharper' setting). Any suggestions for how I could have done that?

this is an arresting image. you've managed an excellent exposure, and really captured all the textures. the only thing i don't like is your title (and i'm NOTdeducting points for that). good luck!
edit: i just re-read my comment and realized i left out the NOT. sorry for any consternation that caused...
This photo is compositionally nice, but it does lack something, like it's almost trivializing the three apparent graves here... Does that make sense? I feel like I want to see or sense more about this subject, but that the photo isn't letting me... Hope this comes across right.
Sniffle, Sniffle. Looks like some beloved pets there, which stirs my emotions and makes me sad. . . . but it makes me like the picture a lot. I love its simplicity, the shadows. Everything about this picture is nice.
The composition in this shot is just great. I also love the pristine snow background. One of my favorites of the challenge. Sorry I have nothing constructive to add but I can't suggest anything that needs improvement. 10
