Frozen Cottonwoods

This is another negative from last year's (2004) "Freezing Fog"

storm in the Four Corners region. I got caught-up with too many

other things last spring and so I'm just now getting back to this

film. Negative film, Hi-Res Scan (16-Bit). I print with Septone

inks on a 2200. What do you think?

I like how the sky contrasts to the snow in the tree.

Nice job metering the snow. Did you use infrared film? I would expect the sky to be darker if you had (almost black) but the contrast of the frost-covered limbs against the trunk is why I'm asking.

Thanks for the comments--The Sky is white/gray because it is all Fog. Normally there would be an open valley with a steep 800' ridge in the background, but it is obscured by Fog.... A week of "freezing fog" (and little or no blue sky) resulted in all the vegetation being encased in Hoar Frost. cc

wonderful!

I just love your picture.. i can look to this composition for hour and combine with the white spaces :)

Very good.

This is really nice Chris! Perfect conditions, if you ask me. I would have liked to see the little tree on the right be completely in the frame. Since that did not happen, perhaps removing it instead. I took the liberty of doing that with your photograph. If you find it objectionable, let me know and I will remove the posting. Regards.

Very nice with the tree gently showing against the sky
