Snow Abstracts

[JimFox]

Monika and Larry have posted their multiple feet of snow they had at their houses, well in Northern Colorado at my daughters house it was a matter of inches not feet. But I decided to work with what I got.

This first series is where the snow is on the branches of the trees. I thought it took on an abstract feel.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

I like the first one without dead leaves disrupting the flow of the snow covered branches. These do make nice abstracts.

Your timing was just right to capture the snow-crested branches at the peak. I agree that the first is the best.

Thanks Alan. I wondered about the leaves if they would add or distract.

It only lasted for about 5 hours in the morning. So while most of the kids were still sleeping I went outside and captured these. By noon it had melted off.

I was tempted to convert these to B&W as the colors are so muted.

Another nod for the first one. This may be worth trying to get a high key look out of it.

I want to say that the leaves in the 2nd help create a focal point, but I agree that the cleaner look of the first makes for a better abstract.

Thanks Jameel, I can try that.

Thanks Kyle, I think you are right.

Thanks Monika! It's pretty overwhelming that it's #1.
