This is for Dales Challenge. MY flash was connected with a cord, so I was placing it underneath and shooting upwards underneath the leaf so as not to blow out the snow.

  Nice job Beth. The image has so much more depth and interest than the one with ambient light even if the the ambient light was opened up to a correct exposure.

  I don't like this one bit. I'm just not ready for winter :o)

Actually, nice work on these, Beth!

  This really did achieve what Dale was asking us to try Beth. Excellent. I'm just glad we only have a very few days of this white stuff each year even if it's pretty.

  These are wonderful. They show off so well with the great lighting and nice contrast with the red and white. Well done!

PS I am not ready for snow either. Two nice days left here before the weather change on Monday. 74 today.

  Beth, these are beautiful images and a great example of Dale's challenge. The snow has texture and is not blown out, and the red color looks natural. Great job!

  Thanks so much to everyone! Our snow is gone and I am sure the leaves will be gone by tomorrow as we have high wind warnings tonight.
Kalena, we are heading to Texas next week to see the grandbaby and my son and his wife. I hope the snow does not follow me!!
