Digital Camera Speed Challenge #493 - Robert Frost

I thought that we’d do something a little different this time. Robert Frost’s poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” has always been a favourite of mine. Give me your best photographic interpretation of a line from this poem.

"The woods are lovely, dark, and deep..."

And I have miles to go before I sleep

.
"To watch his woods fill up with snow ....."

His house is in the village though.

Long Way To Go.

Who's woods are these

Challenge is closed. I'll have results up soon (I hope).

Hard competition to judge this week. Here are my thoughts on the images:

M_Six – lovely picture Mark, good composition and good exposure, makes me think that it is a Duke or a Count that owns the woods
teekay – always a fan of B&W images, these woods are definitely dark and deep, I keep looking at that white patch in the bottom, middle though…
Ltdave – makes me think of those late night, long haul drives that I did as a young man, nodding at the wheel
Tom Reichner – always like your images Tom, this does capture the line that you’ve chosen, great exposure. Is the deer chewing on the branch?
nrowensby – this does look like a village house and ties in with my own imagined house in the village, it seems a tad over exposed though or maybe the saturation is pumped a little too high?
Paul B – woods, snow, a leading line taking your far into the distance… and is that a village that I maybe see rising above the trees at the end of the line?
OldCrow – love the mist and the mystery, the path taking us deep into the frame

A really difficult choice this time. All the images were excellent and together they evoke the emotions I feel when I read this poem. In the end, for me, it came down to Paul B and OldCrow.
