Shutter speed:	?
Film used:	Agfa 100 slide
Technical information:	Exposure compensation set to +1
Subject information:	Roadside wind sculpted snow drifts. I was not able to get out earlier in the day, so the sun had a chance to warm the drifts up a bit and cause them to sag. I guess we'll just say that adds character to them. I thought about trying to take the color cast out of the snow using photoshop, but decided not to mess with it.

I like the way the sunlight and shadows fall on the snow. As I was scrolling down to leave this comment, I noticed that the photo would also be nice with it cropped right at the top of the snow. Would have looked a lot like those beautiful sand dune pictures we see. Nice work, wish we would have had some snow to work with around here this year.

Like the look of the snow - don't see much of it myself

Being from S. California I don't really know what snow is but I like the subject matter. But I might have tried a wider angle shot emphasizing the strange snow drifts from the side and making them more like mountains. I would try to lose the wires.

Nice abstract shapes. The fence doesn't bother me as much as it does Warren, but I agree that it'd be nice to really fill the frame snow shapes for a faux mountain range.
