I like this scene a lot, but now that I have a dual-monitor setup at work the trees on the left look weird to me. Would be neat to get updates fixing that kind of distortion on older scenes like this.

Have you ever been to Alaska? Because you captured the view perfectly! I have seen this at lakes here. It's perfect!

"Winter delights and other realities"

I like your landscapes. Almost all of them can be and are soothingly relaxing. What strikes me most about the ones I prefer over others is the inclusion of a mammal(s).
It makes them more familiar, and relateable to experiences of my life and most other people, I imagine. I look at this scene and think "I know where I could find it." I just have to get back into the out country, away from humans crushing in on each other.
Back to some peace and calm and the particularly haunting cry of a wolf howling just before dawn in winter. I have seen days like this and they are rare exceptions and visual delights not soon forgotten.
You capture that mix of fantasy and reality and blend them into a new perception(perspective) in such a way that many people are captivated into your worlds. That's power. You weild it well. It may be enjoyable to read our comments; but how do you respond emotionally and intellectually? A word, continue to be the artist you are. Our influence must be minimal, if at all. They are your works, your art. And those of us who say, more this, more that, no. No, I say.
Create YOUR vision and we like it, or not.

I'm so used to the darker color wallpapers that when I tried this out, I almost felt blinded at the sudden change of whiteness. I definitely agree with your preference for the darker color wallpapers, Ryan. Still, it's a lovely picture and obviously a popular one. :) I think this one of your better done winter scenes.
