I do! are my pictures to warm/cold?
but snow often looks blue and purple in the shadows. I like his re-work because of the bold darks and lights, but that is rarely how it works in nature

I reworked the boat. Any better?

I like his re-work because of the bold darks and lights, but that is rarely how it works in nature If you're looking at snow through cheap binoculars then yes snow often looks purple. Lateral color fringing ("chromatic aberration") is often purple In cheap glass, be it a camera lens or binoculars. My $300 canon 85mm f/1.8 exhibits a lot of purple fringing when shot wide open, and it usually disappears by f/2.5-2.8. It can also be corrected well in Lightroom [/quoteThe general idea of that was looking with your "eyes" not with your brain (or glass w/ chromatic aberration). Try it sometime without your lenses getting in your way.
Nice job Bean Counter. I'll send you all my crappy photos from now on.
