The snow started the other day and I headed out to one of my favorite country side locations in Somerset County, PA for wintery bliss. I have always found trees to be powerful subjects. This one seemed to me to be an unmoving sentry watching over all its domain in the midst of the storm . I hope that you enjoy this photo and have the Happiest of New Years!

Scene is well exposed and the title is very fitting. I can imagine how quiet things would be if it weren't for the wind. I like the image; undecided about the vignette.
This is a nicely composed image. I enjoy the various lines of the fence around the tree. I also enjoy the various levels of contrast between the elements. Looking at this piece again I will bump the score slightly from average to above. But for me it just is not enough to really blow me out of my sox.
This image feels almost perfect. Like if you'd have shot it when the light was a little lower, it would be outstanding. Love the composition, just would have liked a little more dramatic lighting. 7
I think the title Solitude would be better applied to this scene taken on a calm and peaceful day. The blowing snow gives this shot some intensity that doesn't fit with the given title. That aside, I like the B&W conversion as well as the composition of this shot.
