Very impressive shots. How do you predict cloud coverage on any given night?
I find the first one a bit too pushed. I think on the right the sky behind the tree appears lighter that the nearby sky which is likely an artifact of post processing?
The second, i really love, simple but very effective composition. The snowy foreground and tree silhouette are just stunning.
I prefer the second one, which is less cramped, and have a great sens of space. What a stunning picture and what a stunning location, where is this?
Very nice and very rural!
