C&C welcome. The top is the tammy 10-24, the lower my standard D-FA50.

I think that I would prefer the horizon to be a bit lower as there seems to be a lot of blank space at the bottom of the image - more like this perhaps?

Hope you don't mind me playing with your image.

I really like the minimalistic look of the first one. Perhaps the snow could be a little brighter though, seems a bit too grey to me?

Best wishes, Kris.

hmm. I think I will maybe re-process and crop...

believe it or not, this is 15 minutes by car from our house. Which is smack-bang in the middle of a 100000 inhabitant town....

I'm finishing off the selective sharpening of the others, I might not get around to this for a day or so.

thanks for the ideas!

I do like the first.
Maybe a bit brighter as Kris said, and maybe B&W...

But it's nice shot as it is IMO

Personally I think the fish shot had more potential - more interest, more potential for contrasting texture and colour. The first one is good but a bit 'standard' while the fish could be made all your own.

I don't know the english names. I never learned them there. I think it's pike (hauki) and the other was claimed to be "abramis balleris", which I also can't translate.

It will get eaten, I know that

I quite like the first one but I was waiting for it to load and then realized i was looking at the hole image (I think for it to work it needs to be cropped)

I thought carp and maybe a dog fish

actually I've just realised there are three fish!

The other one is probably a bream.

I was trying to get the feeling of emptiness that I never remember getting in the UK: there's nothing out there but white for the next 50 kms and then again for another 200.

I've cropped it, burnt some detail in to the sky and added sepia what do you think
