Patience

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted January 27, 2010311 views9 comments
I enjoy snow pictures, but this little twig with tiny leaves protruding from the sparkling white blanket of winter reminded me last weekend of the plants beneath the snow, waiting to show us their colors in three or four months.

Canon 50D
Sigma 17-70mm. f/2.8
f/18 @ 1/125 sec.; ISO 100
Handheld; very little post-processing

Hi Wayne, I like the simple comp here and the diagonal positioning of the twig. What I like the most though is the detail and texture you managed to capture in the snow, very nice. :smile:

Simple and very effective composition. I love the glittering snowflakes - that took a good eye to catch that. Congrats on the EP!
