Winter

Interesting juxtaposition of pictures, each good in its own way, This one (whether naturally or through PP magic) conveys the feeling of a lashing winter wind and accompanying snow flurries. The other picture is winter in repose; here we have the winter's bite in action.

Jack, I'm glad you picked up on the effect I was trying to create - "winter's bite in action." When I shot both photographs, there were snow flurries but no wind to speak of.

Hi Michael,

 

this winter collage is really touching upon the essence of the harshness and cold of winter and thus very successful in creating the mood you were after combining these images into one. The frosty B&W delivers this sense flawlessly. An image that stands out because of its symbolic power of persuasion. Very well done, an instant favorite! Kind regards, Vincent

Just don't remind us that winter is coming! Great postwork though.
