Shadows in the Snow

Comment by ursula:
Ahhh, long shadows, I've been looking at these for a couple years trying to figure out how to make a decent shot of them. I like how these look so horizontal compared to the trees that look so vertical, but not quite vertical, sort of vertical falling over. I wish the trees at top had a bit better light, to see a bit more of their structure; it is difficult to make pictures in bright light such as in this scene. I also sort of wish the frozen creek were not cut off at far left. I do like the graphic feel of the image. I am wondering what hunkering down a bit further (getting closer to the snow to make the picture, or, a lower viewpoint) would do for a composition such as this one. Or maybe, climb a tree and make a picture from up high, hmmmmm. I like the little bits of snow at the sides of some of the trees.

Good start.

The back light shows off the details nicely, and I love the hint of flare in the top left corner! : )

It's not a waterlily... but it is a great image... especially if one takes the time to see the bee. Good stuff.

Cute little guy! And I just noticed the bee - wonder if the bee survived after the frog discovered it.

Nice composition, but the lighting is a bit harsh.
