I said in the main discussion thread that there isn't any snow or wintery scene around here in the city but a short drive out to the open countryside it's snow-covered everywhere.

While pulling into the drive after the Winter theme photoshoot I noticed the neighbour Snowdrops are already in flower.

But Thursday won't be the same without a good moan about the theme you've just drawn!

Cheers, Dave. I can't decide which of the two to pick as the main image. I like one for the vista and the distance wind turbines and two for the low viewpoint.

Thanks, Alex. Looks like I selected the wrong image for the main photo only thread.

really nice Stan. Exposed really well and some good leading lines.
Both good. #2 feels more dramatic, but #1 reminds me of skiing, so #1 for me.

Great snowy scenes - I like the low point of view in the second but also the lead to the distant wind farm in the first.

Not a keen reader of books but still found so many possibilities for this week's theme. I hope this fits the theme and also the High Key technique but will leave that to Chris @Cobra or Tim @LC2 to decide.

I added a 3-Stop ND Filter in order to 'freeze' the second's hand movements to 'show' the history of time.

I like both shots, but no.1 is my favourite with the movement of the second hand so well captured.
