Definitely a nice framing of the scene and for the record I prefer the smidge of color in the image - it adds a nice touch to the presence of the lodge.
I think winter is here. It certainly cuts down on my shooting, but it gives me time to work and rework some of my summer and fall shots on the computer, in front of a crackling fire in the fireplace Plus the other three seasons more than make up for it here in the mountains.
Maybe I should take my camera up on the slopes with me and become a ski photographer
