[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 242325, member: 9240"] Just an extremely cold morning, the sun was still behind the clouds, and there was a faint layer of fog on top of the water. I was careful in post to preserve the original look of the water while bringing out the detail in the trees and sky. Here's the image straight out of camera if you'd like to compare... [ATTACH=CONFIG]65526._xfImport[/ATTACH] I worked mainly to pull out the contrast of the snow/crystals on the various branches with the rest of the tree. The snow we had was so dry that it barely stuck to anything that day, let alone 2 days later. But where I came to this area there were covered branches everywhere. I got out of the car and took a closer look and it seems that mist from the water had either been enough to get the snow sticky, or it was that which crystalized on the branches. Either way, I wanted to show the offset of those, but preserve the dreamy quality of the area. I waffled on keeping it cool or warming it up, but I like the warmer look. I wasn't going to post this one as I couldn't get it to look right without it also looking over-cooked, but since the subject came up, here's a look at what the "snow" looked like. This is a mossy rock that stuck out of a feeder to this stream. [ATTACH=CONFIG]65530._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
