Param, I like this image but it feels a little artificial to me... I'm not sure if the snow is too white or the sky is too saturated, but it seems to need just the slightest of adjustment to me.  I just can't pinpoint what it is... Of course, maybe it's just me!  Overall, I do really like it though.  What a beautiful morning that was!

I am just guessing - don't take notice if you think I am wrong...

I think your eyes are drawn to the lower one third where everything in the foreground is in focus. This is in stark contrast to the upper two-thirds of the picture. However as the contrast of the lower portion is higher than that of the upper portion by a factor (I am guessing) greater than 1.5 (inverse of 2/3), and the snow provides such a compelling contrast background, you end up looking down. Force yourself to look at the sky keeping the lower one third out of direct sight and you will see what I am talking about (I hope).

When I see this image, I see two pictures - one with the lower part with the contrast and the second with the sky - I like the two pictures. I guess it does not work as a single picture for some... See, it does not "lead" you up a path to an object of "interest"... But then that is art - makes you think... What am I saying? I am am Engineer!

There's been some great images posted on this thread. Here's a few of ours to keep it going.

For those that are interested, legend has it that Robin Hood visited Roche Abbey to take mass.

@Serendipidy, many thanks for your comments.

I obviously do not know how experienced you are, but I see from your signature that you have a great camera and lenses. My advice for landscape would be to find somewhere quite close to where you live that you could consider picturesque. Then imagine that scene as you would like to see it lit. Then think about the lighting implications of whether this would be early morning or late evening. Then when you have the time and the light is right pop over there and get the shot ! Adjust the frames in pp to get the right look and you've got it ! Or as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise would say : Make it so !
