Winter Afternoon

Contribution by Mike

I particularly enjoyed this photo. It was taken on a sunny afternoon in my front yard and I could have asked for a better result. The colors had beautiful contrast and the shadows of the trees blended artfully with the pure white of the snow. I sharpened the texture in iPhoto to give everything a more refined look, and boosted the color so it could really be seen and appreciated. The background is dark in comparison to the trees and the snow, which was an effect I personally enjoyed immensely. There was also a wonderful use of lines, as seen with the vertical of the tree and the horizontal of the fence and the road. Overall, this was a wonderful photo to take.
