Excellent scene, Bear. Perfect for the LB and well done.

Yikes, it looks nasty out there. Use of the LB furthers the whole blowing snow feel of the shot.

I think this is the way a lot of people see the world. My husband doesn't care a whit if my shots are sharp or not. He just goes by the composition, colors, and general feel to determine which he likes.

Comment by ubique:
You described this in a forum thread as "oddly compelling". And it is. Compelling is precisely the right word. When a photograph so clearly cries WTF? about all the conventions of photography, it compels you (well, certainly compels me) to admit thoughts that would otherwise by suppressed. So it's Liberating. Loose. Accommodating. As opposed to Prescriptive, Tight-Assed and Intellectually Stingy.

There's still time to enter it in the December Free Study, Robert.

What a GREAT photo. I love these perspective photos. It looks so beautifully cold and wintery in natural black and white.

This was one of my top rated images in the challenge. Beautiful snow-covered trees, I would like to be that person on the road enjoying the quiet solitude.

My first thought was that color photos would be necessary for good lensbaby shots. But I'm seeing some striking black and white stuff too! Nice work.
