Nice shots Simon.
I’ve uesd one of your shots as my desktop - I hope thats OK.

Can I make a suggestion? Your shots are a little over exposed - the snow has little detail, this might be how you want them to look. I would make sure your film speed (ISO) is at a lower speed eg: 100iso for bright sunshine 1600iso for night/indoors/low light. Looking at the light in you shots I think set the ISO to around 400.

This should give you better contrast. Check your shutter and aperture after ISO change.

Hey Spaz,

Thanks for the critique, but I actually shot and processed it intentionally that way. It’s what I was going for.
I like snow to look as white as possible. It’s just my artistic preference that’s all.

Photos of the week have been posted to the news feed. Well done to lisapisa and EvanL. Thank you to everyone who submitted photos this week, it was the best round of photos so far and a very hard one to pick.

Just a reminder all photos go into the draw for Photo of the Season, not just the weekly winners.

The final vote will be decided by a panel of photographers and industry members.
