Shot after the first snow of the year on the deck at the rear of my house. I wanted something that would really pop off the snow. My first shot left the snow too gray, so I had to go back and reshoot with better settings.

1. Download from camera
2. Copy to preserve original
3. Resize to 720px wide, using bicubic sharper interpolation
4. Sharpen filter applied once

The touch of red is wonderful in this - speaks of minimalism nicely.

The extreme contrast here (and the way the branch is washed out) didn't work for me here; I would have liked to have seen it shot a little more closely, and with exposure set with an eye to bringing out the branch and berries.

Lovely geometric feel to this. This would make a good print.

Strong image. Makes you gaze in deeply to figure out what's going on. Nice contrasts here, dark and light, bright colour and white.
