Bonjour Craig,

C'est un vrai plaisir pour les yeux que cet endroit encore plus magnifique en hiver qu'en ιtι. J'aime le contraste entre le rouge de la terre et des rochers et le blanc de la neige qui recouvre la verdure dans la vallιe. Un peu de vertige en suivant les courbes de la route.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Craig,
Who would even dare to overlook a picture with a title like that? It's good for you that this really is worth a good look, not least for the colours. The grayish green and brown tones are superb. The crowded conditions in summer sound quite horrible. Doesn't sound ideal for an experience of well preserved nature. Still, it must have been a disappointment not to meet any living soul at all, not even a bison or an elk.
Best wishes,
Gert

Hi Craig!
Wonderful winter picture of that fabulous place!!!!
When I was there, in spite of being early spring, it was pretty crowded, but not suffocating! I loved it and it one of my favorite spots in the Western USA!
Sharpness, exposure, colors, horizontal format, slim black borders, chosen pov and composition are all excellent!
TFS - congrats,
Cheers,
Neyvan

Hello Craig,
What a dilemma ! Visiting the national park in winter while I don't like the cold or visiting it together with far too many visitors :)
Anyway, this is a stunning picture!
Amazing ! The red brown cliffs stand out well in the snowy landscape. Good that the winding road has been cleared of snow so that its colour makes it clearly visible on this splendid shot.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Craig,
This is another great winter shot. I really like the way the road is winding like a giant snake. Are there still lots of rangers around during the winter? It would be bad to get stranded out there with nobody else around!

Hi Craig
This one is also very beautiful with wonderful colours of the rocks sprinkled with fresh snow. The winding road adds an eye-catching focal point and leads the viewer's eye through the image. I really envy you the opportunity to photograph those wintery landscapes. I was very unlucky with weather this year (I missed snowfalls in Armenia, UK, where I live, and Poland, where I visited twice!).
Thank you for your comments on my last upload from Myanmar. I don't only ever document sombre stories and take photos of sad people but it is true of some locations I have recently visited, like SE Turkey, Nepal or Burma. But if you look at my shots from e.g. Iraqi Kurdistan or Uzbekistan you will see quite some happy faces. :-)
Greetings from Doha airport (Qatar), my stopover on the way to Kathmandu. I can't answer your question abour exposure as I'm looking at the image on my netbook screen - it looks beautiful but does not allow any precise judgement.

Hello Craig
Long time no hear, but live is keeping me busy and with not getting any notification mails from TE anymore the site has simply slowly slipped from my mind.

The winter view here is indeed a sight to behold. Impressing in summer it looks even better with the snow and the low hanging clouds in the distant.
Like you, we like to visit places out of season to avoid the crowds. Weather may not always be to favorable during this time but the reward is even greater. So we are off to Iceland again in just 3 weeks from now. Hoping the weather will be not to bad, the roads passable we are looking forward to this adventure.

have a great weekend
Daniel

Hello Craig,

I have to agree with you about how spectacular places look when covered in snow. I love to photograph at home after snowfalls, everything looks so clean, so different! However, I'm equally glad to get back into the warmth of the house, with a cup of steaming coffee.
Your photograph is so interesting because of its limited colour palette. The textured greys predominate, so the warmth of the red cliffs and the ribbon-like roadway stand out like a tattoo on an arm!
It is a well composed photograph, with a cloudy b/g that leaves no guesswork to the mood and the temperature!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)
