Nice patterns, Sharon.Gary H. Minish May 26, 2019
Great photo, Sharon! It's amazing how snow can transform very common things into visual wonders. I like your composition on this. You obviously had lots of choices on how close to look and I think you got the right combination of detail and the larger scale patterns. #39110Sharon E. Lowe May 26, 2019
Conrad - thanks so much.Gary - thanks for your comments. Yes, I had many ways to do this one but I liked how the branches seemed to dance through the frame with this shot. Closer up, the snow would have been overwhelming; this way, I think you can still tell iot is a tree and quite a large one at that. #39119

Kelly - thanks! I think I have mother nature to thank for most of it - I just took advantage of her beauty! #39126Joy Brown May 26, 2019

Nice work, Sharon. It almost looks B&W but I can still seen the dark green under all that snow. I agree that the branches look like pieces of a snow flake.Murry #39197

Murry - thanks, so glad you like it and took the time to comment. It actually is B&W. I took it with my D60 but converted it to grey scale in PS and made some minor curves adjustments. I had envisioned it in B&W rather than color when I took it. #39218Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
Had my eyes dilated today and have been seeing green everywhere :0)Murry #39242
