Snow Limbs
Uploaded: February 15, 2011
Out our dining room window.
The freshly fallen snow was loosly laying on the shrub and I waited for the light on the warm side of the window, opening and closing it several times as it teased me into the cold. Still, my favorite part is the swishing shadows from the base of the tree.

Interesting and effective POV/comp...I, too, like the shadows...it certainly looks cold but is still an excellent and very appealing image. Nicely done, Marty! #1353408Jeff Robinson February 15, 2011

Terrific composition and lighting to catch those shadows, Marty! Looks as if you've got more snow left now than we do. #9242427Tammy M. Anderson February 15, 2011
Fabulous capture of light/shadow, Marty. Beautiful winter capture. #9242530Ron McEwan February 15, 2011
Terrific image my friend, great work with light and shadows. We are having a streak of spring here, up in the 70's tomorrow, maybe that will finish off the snow. #9242595Denny E. Barnes February 15, 2011
Well seen and beautiful captured, Marty! The light, color and shadows are just perfect!! You have the snow, we have the wind! Several times in the last few days we've had no power for hours. Spring come-on!! #9242831frank w. degenhardt February 15, 2011
I could tell by this picture that this was fresh snow. It always has the cloud like look to me. A pretty creative way to show it off with the brances of the tree and how that gives the picture beautiful balance. I to love how the snow lays on top of the branches. Gorgeous work my friend. #9243105Carol L. Fowler February 15, 2011
Nice composition- fresh snow is always beautiful! #9243126Ellen Hodges February 15, 2011

Love the pov here Marty. Ah the silence of the snow sifted carefully about the trunk :-) #9247382Mitch Spence February 19, 2011
I agree, Marty, about the shadows. I love the subtle tones that give the snow texture in the image, and the contrast of the bark of the shrub. #9250206Val Feldman February 23, 2011
Soft, newly fallen, pristine and fluffy - the best kind of snow. The shadows are beautiful, Marty - but there's much to be said about the dark bare branches reaching up against the snowy backdrop...wintertime poetry for the eyes! :) #9257469Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
