Thanks for all the nice comments during and after the challenge.
This was taken on the same back-road where I took the horse picture in an other Free Study.
What I really like about this one is that post processing was close to nothing. No cropping was done, levels were adjusted, noise removed and I did clone out a little bit of vignetting in the bottom right corner, that's all.

I had to go back to this image and comment on it. I'm suprrised this didn't finish higher than it did - it's an incredible shot, shouting serenity. I love it, adding it to my faves!
I love seeing this shot. It makes me want snow to come even sooner so I can attempt something even remotely close to your work here. Only one good snow fall alst year though. Maybe I need to move to Canada. Very nice work and well deserved of your 7+ score.
Wow, this is gorgeous!!!! I thought I voted on every single picture, but I see somehow I missed this one. Looks like you did just fine without the 10 I would have given it!!! Congratulations on a very deserving top 10 finish.
I do like minimalism. Perhaps more so then the densely subtle. I would hand this on my wall. It is a form that requires patience and sincere introspection to observe the impression made. I hope others appreciate it as much as do I.
I became a little frustrated with all those challenge entries with everyday flowers, family members, pets, cats, backyards and everyday streets. And then you run into something like this.....
Zen, a moment to relax, ahhh. Now I can endure another zillion pet and flower shots.
I can't say enough about this image. Very beautiful and simple. I love the smooth white hill of snow and the crisp slender details of the grass. Well done!!
