Recent snowfalls in Louisville, KY have provided some rare opportunities for winter scenes. This homestead in the rural part of the greater metro area captured my attention.

I would have liked a bit more space at the bottom. Otherwise nice image.

Thanks for the critique helenica. I decided to crop out the messy and distracting snow covered tall grass and use the fence as a de facto border, but I can appreciate your perspective and to some extent I agree. It was a "lesser of two evils" decision for me. I may go back and play with the crop a bit more.

Best Regards,
DJ

Hey DJ,

Very nicely done here. My first thoughts were the same as Helens about the bottom, but thanks for your explanation. Sometimes in composing it's choosing between the lesser of two evils as you said. The fence does work, ideally there would have been space below it, but it does work with just the fence.

Very nicely done. I like the scene. I too thought of the bottom border. My idea would be to leave just enough under it to have a white line under the fence.

Thanks for the suggestion. Here is a looser crop. I do like the white space below the fence, but I can't decide if the grass at the bottom edge is too distracting.

Love the image. I like number 2 better and agree with Photo Scout of just leaving some white below the fence and not the grass. Number 1 didn't work for me as it felt like a tilting ocean. But that is just something that bothers me,
