I love it! You can really see the texture of the snow. Something entirely foreign to this little southern girl.

I really like it! The snow looks really cool, I love the composition of it, and I love the lines of the needles at the bottom, going towards the camera! It's really very good. :P

I like it as well!!

As an Aussie, snow was an entirely new concept to me until this year, and it still is :D I love this photograph because of the contrast between the purity of the snow and the vivid colours of the pine cone and its needles. The brown and green really start out against all of the snow. Now I know I'm no photographer, and you probably couldn't help it, but the right hand side part where you can see the grass kind of ruins the image in my opinion, because it takes away from the whiteness of the snow and the pine cones/needles. :D

Heya Wild!

Now, first thing I would suggest you to do is resize the photo.
Now, here your idea is very good. But somehow, the composition doesn't work very well for me. Also, this photo is good enough to undergo some editing on a software like Photoshop.
And the focus is a very straight dead-on approach. I would suggest some different angles, which would make it much better.

Hope this helped.

Same as Austenite, I haven't seen snow but once in my life time and that is when I went overseas for the first time. And all can really say is that I'm jealous of the snow that is in your backyard and your photo taking skills. You know! I tried taking a photo of a spider yesterday and it didn't turn out well and I come on here and there is this awesome looking plant with snow on it, I mean c'mon!

Hmph! I'm just going to go over into my corner and cry thanks to you. :D
I spy!

I like it. It's nothing too insanely exciting (at least, not for someone like me who's usually suffering through six months of snow) but it's a really pretty picture nad I think you captured it nicely. I love the way you can sort of see the individual crystals of all the different snowflakes - it's really pretty.

Thank for all your comments and advise.
I live in MN so it snow a lot here in the winter.

There's no snow where I live. :( Literally. I've never seen snow here for all my life, and there's never really been snow here before my existence. There's nice weather here, but...
...but there's never any snow.
So, of course, I love this! I love how the pine needles spread out in all directions, sorta like a fan.
Nice job-

Hello Wildatheart.

This one is so cool, I mean just look at that pattern of the snow.

The top layer snow 180 degrees, Now look at the next one I can see about 180 degrees also!

I like the three pine cones in the middle also!
beware I'm a pretty good shot, and I know where you live.mrwhahahahaha

I really like this one, personally. There's a great balance, and while the set-up seems natural, it also seems perfectly organized (in the strange way that nature manages to do that). Great colors and focus. c:

Really nice job on this one. :D

Wow. Just wow. This brings back memories. *Absent mindedly wipes away a tear*. I used to have a pine tree in my back yard, I planted it myself when I was five, and every year I took a photo of it. We moved since then. Keep taking photos! Bravo! *clicks like on the way out*

I think the best thing about making it into the quote generator is when nobody tells you, so one day you're just scrolling and voila, some phenomenally inane thing that crawled out of your dying synapses and immediately regretted being born the second it made contact with the air has been archived for all time. Or worse, a remark of only average inanity. Never tell me when you've put me in the generator. Pride-tinged regret just doesn't taste the same without the spice of surprise.
