Hello Weeraphan!
Very decorative shot!
That ND filter has certainly done a good job, as all the picture is well exposed.
I like the depth in this, from the nearby straws to the distant ridges.
Colors are amazing too. Fine texture in the snow.
Only some minor problems: The reflections of sun in the lens and the straw to the extreme right.
TFS!
Regards, Jon.

hello Weeraphan,
you had a good idea to use the NDgrad here but the result is not as natural-looking as it should, in my opinion at least, mainly due to the darkening of the snow near the middle of the picture. you should have moved the filter a bit upwards or used a different exposure to render the snow in the foreground darker. apart from that your photo is well composed and the depth of field nicely controlled ;)
regards,
kostas

Hi Weeraphan,
A fine sunset shot - I really like the weeds peeking through the snow in the foreground and the distant colors are stunning. The power pole on the mid left can be viewed as a distraction, but the main event takes center stage. Very well seen and presented. TFs. Gerald

Hi, great picture, the composition with the sun at the vertical middle works for me, and the lighting and colors are amazing and it shows good detail both in lit and shaded areas of the snow.

Hello Weeraphan,

What a magnificent image of a winter wonderland. The grazing sunlight creates deep mounds of the smallest perturbations, and illuminates the crystals of ice and snowflakes. This is a very effective shot.

Warm regards,

Bulent
