  • In Poland. Barania Góra --Pudelek (talk) 17:45, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Support - This was on my list of photos to nominate, too. It's my idea of a perfect winter wonderland, complete with accompaniment of the "Winter Wonderland" song in my mind's ear. The evergreens heavy with snow, the snow field, the mountains in the distance and the sky all contribute to the picture, but I think it's the snow-laden trees and their placement in the picture that really make the biggest difference. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:15, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

•  weak oppose Good things first: Nice landscape, I really like the texture of the snow trails and the background is really great. What does not work for me is. 1. White balance: It is a tad too cold/blueish in my opinion. I tried downloading it and play with and nudging the temperature up a bit gave a less artificial look in my opinion. 2. Too contrasty. People are basically just black small blobs, and some semi-harsh shadows. 3. Exposure control of the flat snow-covered surfaces. I realize it is very diffucult to photograph snow, but although there is a lack of structure and texture in the smoother parts of the snow landscape in my opinion, as if it was slightly overexposed. Technically speaking there is no clipping in the histogram, but it stops abruptly as if an attempt has been made to salvage details in postprocessing. All in all, a fine image, but not among our very finest in my opinion. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose +1 to Slaunger's criticisms (reminds me of how my old DP/S used to handle this sort of scene, oddly, when I chose the "snow" setting from its menu); I also feel there's too much going on to settle on any one aspect as the subject. Daniel Case (talk) 06:13, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
•  Support --Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 06:49, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
•  Support I find this well-composed and it's processed quite well considering the direction of the sunlight -- Thennicke (talk) 10:38, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
