Another really nice series! This series has a little more digital art feel to it than the others IMO. The compositions are awesome and the processing top notch Did you add the snow and car tracks in post? If so great job!!

Any info you can share on the PP would be greatly appreciated

Best,
Jay

I wish I was good enough to add them! The snow and car tracks are real and part of the original images.

These are all single image raws that I originally processed in Lightroom. I created 4-7 exposures in Lightroom and then imported into Photomatix. A little noise reduction, and then into Photoshop for resizing, sharpening. For a few images I had to do spot removal to remove snow from the lens.

I think you mean the 4th pic. In the 3rd pic the dark object is a Toyota Tundra. In the 4th pic the dark object is a Northern Harrier that I was tracking at that moment.

Wow, very nice photos. #3 is my favorite, it kind of gives my a sad/lonely feeling and I'm not sure why. I absolutely love the snow in motion effect, same way when you use a slow shutter on a waterfall. Great job!

The pp work is very nice on all of these, but as Jay had touched upon, the composition of the shots is what I like most.
Well done.

LOVE that Third Shot... Such a simple photo, and yet, so FANTASTIC !! I mean, how many people could look at this scene and not see a pic, but after viewing yours, OH WHAT THEY MISSED!!

It almost makes me feel cold looking at them. Excellent subdued lighting with just the right amount of colour to bring them to life.

A beautiful series; I love the mood and composition. I can't remember which photographer said that lousy weather makes for good photography, but you sure proved that in these superb images.
