Very nice. I like the muted scene and colors. Do you have a composition with less sky and more of the snow covered rocks?

Thank you! I don't have another with the muted feel of this one. The weather was changing drastically as I was going along. Here's a crop that might fill the bill.

I like this one better! Really a lovely photo!

Thank you very much, and especially thanks for the suggestion!

I agree with Karen. The cropped one is a great shot.

Your welcome! Did you try just cropping a bit off the top of the first one and leaving the width as is - sorta like a pano crop? See which crop you like best! LOL!

Actually, I just automatically kept it proportional. You're right, this works, too! I think I like this crop more than the previous one.

Very beautiful. We were in St. George last weekend. There was a little snow, but we just missed the big storm.

You did take a bit off the bottom...try to keep the bottom as if and just move the top. In the original there is more dark showing on the stone to the far right......

Thanks, Terri. Any snow is a lot around here, and very appreciated!

Thanks, you're right on that. I must have slipped somewhere, didn't mean to crop the bottom. The extra foreground does add to the picture. I appreciate your help!

The contrasting, yet soft and muted colors and the overall effect, not to mention the surprise of snow in the desert in the first place -- is lovely!

I prefer the first version. It makes me think about what it is like to be out in that weather, I can almost feel it. For some reason the slight crop on the others feels 'cramped'.

Thanks for the feedback, Fred. Both versions do tell a different story. It was very interesting hiking in the snow and hail. Glad I wore my long johns!
