snow & ice Snow Cones

Thanks for taking a look and for any comments you'd be kind enough to

leave... good or bad, of course.

I like the abstract feel of it David! Very interesting...regards...LJ

Glad you like it, and thanks so much for stopping by, Lesa!

I love the composition but would like to see what higher contrast does to it. It's hard to do snow well, but this is very nice.

Higher contrast would be interesting, and I think the original actually has that. In processing this, I was moved by the softness of the shapes (and I always think of snow as soft) and I wanted to try and make a nice, well focused, but in a way, soft image, and that's why I applied a bit of sepia toning. So, what you've suggested tells me I at least partly achieved what I was trying to do here. Thanks!

This is really interesting David--I like it. I think I agree about more contrast (or brightness or both) but I appreciate your wanting to get off the beaten path.

OK, so since both you and Rachel suggested it, I adjusted the levels to make it brighter and punchier... and... OK, OK, I like it better ;-p Thanks for stopping by and leaving a thoughtful comment.

I'm glad you approve. I do understand your concern about "hardening" it but I think the new treatment avoids that.

Good gravy, David....you know better than to listen to me!

 

I like it a lot.

Thanks Dave and Rachel. Thanks for the advice and feedback on the revision. And Rachel, what I know better than is I know better than *not* to listen to you, Dave and all my PN friends!

photo whether they are Snow Cones or Snow Mushrooms :o). Out of the vast emptiness of Snow, there seems so much liveliness in this are of Snow Cones. I like this photo very much, David.

After reading your comment I had to find out who wrote such nice words about my picture. So, now I have seen you and spent just a brief time being amazed and delighted by one great photo after another in your gallery! I am very flattered that you have taken the time to look and comment on my picture, and it means a lot that one with your eye likes what she sees here. Thank you very much. What a nice surprise to meet you!
