Thoughts on This?

while editing this image, i thought the "noise" was me selecting the wrong ISO.. but it turns out, its just snow!

I like the shot, but the PP looks a little too cartoony for my liking.

haha the snow and the watermill near the bottom of the image look really animated. its kind of funny. looks like icing

mmm icing... this snow was up to my waste... it made for a cold shoot!!

I like it but the hdr is whats causing the graininess

It does look a little "cartoony", but that by itself doesn't bother me too much.

What does bother me is the snow (mostly grey) and the sky (the trees have a halo around them). Fix those two things and I think this would be a great photo.

PS
It doesn't really look grainy to me - looks fine.

I would like to see more exposures enough so that the inside of the mill were more exposed as well.

i think i might go back and instead of doing a different exposure, actually put a strobe in there (hidden obviously)

That would work too...
