Shadow Play

I scrutinized this composition for quite some time before I triggered the

shutter. My biggest concern was that I didn't want the trees overlapping one

another. Moving around in deep snow with a tripod is a bit tricky, especially

when you're trying to carefully compose a composition. When the snow is

especially deep I use Gitzol snowshoes that fit on to each leg of my tripod.

This way the tripod doesn't sink all the way up to the head.

your patience was rewarded by a brilliant capture: color and composition. the central figures seem to gesture in a way that personifies them in an amusing way-- i can almost see dr suess tree people; that cartoony semblance is reinforced by the super smooth merging of purple-pink and blue. it's a great picture.
