Simplified swing and snow
Uploaded: December 02, 2005
I took this on Wednesday morning at the place I was staying for a conference. The grounds were beautiful. I just loved this solitary old-fashioned swing hung on a great huge tree. The snow and the few remaining autumnal colours in the trees looked simple but nice. I applied a large does of buzz simplifier to get more of an abstract or painting effect so that just the swing and the colours remained.
