Challenge: Best of 2012 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-50D
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
Location: Wisconsin
Date: Jan 15, 2013
Aperture: 11
ISO: 100

Date Uploaded: Jan 15, 2013

 This was hard. I have been keeping a number of images in a Best of 2012 folder throughout the year, but it turns out most of them are more artsy than wide appeal. I'm hoping for another one of those "Art of 2012" challenges to show of one of those :)

This photo was taken the same morning as some of my other challenge entries. I got here at the perfect time, as the sun was just cresting the horizon and lighting up the topics of the bushes. This creates a wonderful scene of desolation and color, which I'm sure to get printed and hang on my wall.

DPC is a really tough crowd. I think this is superb.

I had this at a 7, Mike - that golden glow drew me right in. Congrats on the tiny violin.

Beautiful! I love how the light is caught by the bushes and snow ripples.

This has an almost pastel look to it. The lighting across the top of the bushes is nice.
