:D I like this Hab. Once again. I like how the plants "gradate" over the snow. And the corner patch of white you left. I could use a tad bit more green saturation, as they look like dead dancers atm.

Overall awesome. You definitely have your artists style down to a T.

Like always. Amazing composition. I'd like to see it in B&W to have an idea (the kind of dirty B&W that i'm too much of a newb to create). Could work too maybe

Thanks for the comments. I do have pretty sad associations with this shot, but I am happy to read there are other, more positive interpretations too. :)

It definitely needs size... otherwise too many details of the individuals get lost.

It really does look amazing at the larger size! I would love to see it even bigger, :D

I really like the shapes of the "dancers" in the foreground. A lot. :)

LOL. I was wondering if someone was going to comment on that! I counted about the same, but kept it to myself.

Oh man. Who said all of them are visible in the frame??? :)

Seriously, the "dancer" metaphor is just one way of vieweing this scene. Actually, my first association went much more into a sad and depressing direction. I felt I look at a crowd of starving prisoners, their heads sunk and no way to go. But I initially felt, it might not be appropriate to supply this personal association right from the start.
