WC #365 - Serious Snowfall

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted January 31, 2009474 views7 comments

Shot during one of the many heavy snow storms we get in a winter. I tossed a lot of attempts because the huge flakes (bigger than a golf ball) occasionally entered the frame within a foot of the lens and blurred most of the image.

Now that is some serious snow! This is fantastic, Gary, looks like a pointilistic painting!

Really captures the feeling of being in the storm. I love when it snows like that, although it's a bit of a rarity here. Nice one, Gary.

This is well done. I like the comp and the look and feel of the image. Very artistic and evocative.

I like this. As Stan pointed out it has a pointilistic look to it. I think it could be better if you cloned out the large snowflakes in the sky. They are somewhat distracting. Nice image.
