I am reaally impressed with the texture of the snowy tree limbs in this photo. I tried a threshold adjustment in Photoshop, which rendered it as pure black and pure white in a high contrast image. To me, this enhances the texxture.   Posted: 02/10/2025 15:09:14

Hi Tyrah - shooting snow can be tricky. Even the newest, most expensive, mirrorless bodies will have limited capabilities of capturing the details of the bright snow and sky, as well as keeping the overall exposure of the trees, buildings, etc. at what feels like a natural exposure level with a single shot. Bracketing with a tripod can help with this, and don't hesitate to watch your live histogram when you're capturing. You'll often have to push the camera a stop or two to the right to get a decent exposure that won't have your snow coming out gray.

The image you captured here portrays a nice cold, wintery scene that makes you feel it. I'm not sure what's off to camera right, but it might be nice to see the whole house and possibly that partial tree in front of it (maybe there was a good reason you didn't pan anymore to the right). There's also kind of a blue artifact in that section of shadow bottom center you could consider addressing.   Posted: 02/17/2025 14:36:01

I agree with what others have said. Suggest that you straighten the vertical lines. Unfortunately the sky was not your friend! Nothing you can do about that! I'd love to see more of the house.   Posted: 02/17/2025 15:24:45

This is a nice photo of a winter scene - I like it. As Josh mentioned, a bit more to the right would be nice. It is pretty common to have grey blah skies in the winter. To avoid this I frequently will try to minimize the amount of sky in my photo.   Posted: 02/18/2025 17:04:16
