Snowscape - The little Stream that Could !

sathya

I had always wanted to shoot out after a fresh snow. The weekend got a chance for the same. A quick hike [thanks to who ever had laid out the path for me with their snow walking !!!] enroute in Little cottonwood canyon, ut got me to this tranquil place. Not soul in sight - just me, the snow, the gentle breeze & my nokia n95 providing me the music to go with it !!!

P.S : I had looked at the shot so long that I am biased. It is possible that I might have missed something being lost in the moment.

Any advice/feedback on the shot is much appriciated.

I like it, a nice tranquil scene.

The only nit I have is that the snow looks blue to me, I say this knowing that my monitor is not calibrated so it may look fine on other monitors.

Hi Al, Tx for ur comment.
I did play with WB and Color cast initially, somehow for me the blue went well with the cool snow feel of the shot.

What do u think of the below ...

I like the second one better.

Here is a better edit

I think I like the second version (warmer WB) the best! The only thing I'd change is to boost the levels a bit, or pick a white point. It looks a touch underexposed to my eyes.

How about this ...
