 Day 7 of Whatevers

Snow! OK, only about an eighth of an inch, but it stuck :-) I stole some time from my client shoot today to get this little pinecone nestled in its snowy bed. Just a hint of sparkles in the snow.

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, levels, increased contrast, added border, resized, sharpened.

I can't wait til we get a bit more snow. I love snow shots. Nice job with this one.

I MISS pinecones!! There. I said it. Where I moved from we had pinecones as big as a man's size 13 foot. They were great for decorations. Thanks for helping me scratch that pinecone itch.

Nice tilt, love the bits of grass poking through the snow. Fun mix of colors and textures.

this is awesome ... I really like the composition and the little pieces of grass give it a lot of extra texture

LOVE THAT!! Something about the shape of the cone with all of its ins and outs. Beautiful.

Pinecone is nice and sharp, and the composition is lovely. I like the shallow DOF. This would look great on the front of a Christmas card.
