This is my favorite section of my 1/2-mile walk to and from the Metro (subway) each day. It has very a different character from the morning to the evening, especially in the winter when it's night as I come home.

We had a pretty good snow/ice storm last night, so the path down the middle has a couple of inches of frozen stuff over the normal sidewalk.

Since the auto exposure was making the snow gray, I adjusted it to +1 before I took the shot.

Very simple editing: sharpening and one curves adjustment. It doesn't take much. Here's the curve:

Jeff, I love how you so simply and precisely give these little lessons. I am particularly grateful. Knowing when to do PP just seems to escape me and your comments always lead to much better results.
Thank you.

That is a BEAUTIFUL (but cold) walk!! Thanks for illustrating for us how you did that. What a great way to force you to get some exercise every day, right? I would love that.
