Oh the snow! Revised

I have revised as @vignouse suggested, or at least I believe I have followed his suggestions.

Great composition, great light, great photo

[Richard Sayer]

Well now, personally, I like this a lot more. You have taken out the distractions and you're left with a charming Winter landscape. I'm biased of course, so we'll see what others think.

@martinaardvaark I have a get-pushed partner to thank for making me think of composition and @vignouse for making this a better photo.

[Richard Sayer]

@joansmor No, you made it the photo you saw in the first place. When a scene captivates us, our brain screens out the distractions - the camera doesn't.. That is the second part of our job as a photographer; to recreate in post-production the scene that we first saw.

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse Truer words were never said.

[Barbara Donnellan]

Ah, it's truly quite a difference and @vignouse explains why so well. Now an even lovelier winter scene.

[Sharron Green]

It is a lovely scene now, I agree. Less distractions- could be on a card!

@barbarajdonnellan @atwinfay I'm blushing

I thought the original was good but the changes make a difference, for the better. Its a lovely photo, has a very retro look for me.
