Randy, a full stop? I couldn't find the thread where John told me about exposure and shooting snow so I thought I was just supposed to bump it up a notch -the reason for .3 I will do That next time. John, I don't mind but it seems like a waste of time for all of you. I'm going back to do this again sometime this week. Robbie, I did shoot this in RAW so I used VIEW NX to adj. stuff & convert it. (stuff-please forgive my non technical use of photo. terms).Don't you worry.... I get so mad at myself that i keep screwing this up, and I'm just stubborn enough that I'll keep doing it till it looks perfect and doesn't even need to be edited. I am too addicted to photography to quit now....

Working from your posted pic, I took 1 minute to make a few minor adjustments just to see. Not sure it's better but you can
ORIGINAL
SLIGHTLY MODIFIED
The only changes I made were to boost the contrast and bump the saturation a tad. Working from the orig, I bet you can really make a difference.
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Thank you John, the snow does look better in your edit, I kept increasing the contrast but didn't mess with the saturation much cause I figured it would just make it bluer. I can try it again but I really want to start over with a shot that is "spot on" and only needs to be tweaked a little.
Thank you Randy, this is most helpful. I'll print this out at work tomorrow and leave it in my camera bag, after I read it a few times...obviously I need notes cause I can't remember crap once I'm out there.
Thank you for your help too Robbie, I really appreciate it!
