A Moment in Photographic History: United Statesian photojournalist/portraitist Mary Ellen Mark was born March 20, 1940 in Philadelphia. - A photographic Quote of Note: The difficulty with color is to go beyond the fact that it's color – to have it be not just a colorful picture but really be a picture about something. It's difficult. So often color gets caught up in color, and it becomes merly decorative. Some photographers use [ it ] brilliantly to make visual statements combining color and content; otherwise it is empty. - - - - - Mary Ellen Mark
I appreciate your comments and constructive criticism.

Like how you've played around with perceptions of scale... this is a pile of snow, right...?

This mountain will be gone by summer? Great idea, Michael. Nice shot.

The point is...if they get growing more than this it might be a problem!

I love your use of color here Michael! Well done! I see you've taken Mary Ellen Mark's advise.

Besides the cold weather that accompanies it, dirty snow is what I hate most about snow. Beautiful sky:-)

Pardon the pun, but that is way cool. Nice work.

Interesting how the shape of the dirty snow mountain corresponds to that of the cloud to its right.

Nice perspective here, like the background sky too. Makes you really study this shot.

We have mountains that look just like that--real ones. They melteth not. Maybe these ARE our mountains and you put a camera on that Sasquatch that you put on the plane and sent our way and he sent this image back to you to put on your blog. Is that what you did?
Don't you just love stupid comments like this?
