blizzard

I took this at the height of the October ‘blizzard’ while driving through Peace Valley Park.  My eye was drawn to the tree that has snow on one side and nothing on the other.  I went for the high contract monochrome conversion in Silver EFEX Pro.  My contribution for The Weekend in Black and White, 11-November-11 and UE’s ‘White‘ Weekend Challenge.  Clicking on the image will render a sharper version.

    Nicely done, Wayne. I like the amount of space you have given the tree top and bottom.

    And I see a heart – created by the two lowest branches curving up towards the trunk!!! Cool!!!

    That’s a beautiful capture. The tree seems to almost have arms that reach out. David/ :-)

    Hope your camera didn’t get snowed on! Good looking image.

    Nice shot Wayne. We do love our trees. If this were my photo I’d try a square crop to eliminate much of the sky.
