Winter theme

Gallery: FloraPosted February 19, 201192 views15 comments
Nikon D300, Nikkor 17-55 2.8 @ 52mm. F/7.1, 1/200, ISO 200.

I ran out of titles. I like the texture and pastel color of the leaves against the snow. Comments appreciated.

Beautiful, Albert. The square format is perfect for this. I like the bottom leaf disapearing into the snow.
Marcescent beech leaves are one of my favorite winter subjects. It's interesting how one of the more drab autumn trees (compared to many other species) becomes such an attractive point of color in the winter.

Beautifully done Albert. I particularly like the textures on the leaves and the overall composition.

This looks like a struggle for survival with the snow winning out. This was obviously shot on an overcast day but I wonder about brightening the whites just a bit...? Nice stuff! :toast:

Beside the composition, I like the high lighted leaves, that blend wery well with the high lighted snow.
Take care.
