I had posted this one a few days ago, and after some very helpful comments, I decided to remove it, and try more editing.

Since that posting, I have cropped a bit off the left side, and tried to lighten it up some on the right side, and a couple more touches of this, and that.

Well starting later on today we are due for more snow 7-10 inches in my area. It's getting harder, and harder to push that snow off the drive, I'm tossing it over mounds almost as tall as me. Come on Spring!! :)

Thank you for your comments, and I'm curious what you thoughts are on this one, even though most you did not see the first one.

I recall your post a few days ago and your "this and that" tweaks have paid off Sandi. Well done.

Hang in there..the groundhog says six more weeks of winter. Think summer thoughts.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

We have some about the same amount of snow headed our way as well, Tigz.
A little fringing in the trees and shadows but otherwise a good one.

Sure is a pretty place, Sandi. I noticed a bit of the sky blue in the upper left trees that Tick mentioned. A few seconds of cloning would take care of that.

I've said it before, but you're still a perfectionist Sandi.

The result of your editing/cropping is perfect.

Take care, stay safe and warm and know that every day spring comes closer!

Regards, Cornelius.

You should store some of that snow in the house so you can enjoy it in July.
A beautiful looking scene and capture, Sandi. Wonderful colours and lighting in the photo.
