Crabapple in the Wind

Gallery: LandscapePosted January 6, 2014322 views10 comments

It had been snowing for a couple of days in midwest. I finally can't take it anymore. So I decided to go out to photograph some crabapple trees to brighten up my day. Just when I was photographing this tree, strong wind blew the snow up in the air, helped me to filter out distracting elements at distance.

John, I enjoy the composition and the overall B&W feel to it with the crabapple adding the nice red highlights.

I like the contrast between the red leaves and the bleak winter conditions. As you mention the blowing snow really makes this image stand out and gives it some dimensionality. Excellent post!!

Simply beautiful. Reds vs. Whites are fantastic. Nice, John!

Pretty scene John and I like how the reds jump out of the scene and the blurred back round. Nicely done.
