Chatfield White Pine 669

I like the more intimate views that winter presents. Taken last year while skiing in nearby Chatfield Hollow State Park. ISO 100, 1/320, f/5.6 at 50mm. Comments and suggestions are always welcome and thanks for viewing.

The snow hanging onto those very long needles look good Jim. This is a tough one, with the subject darker than the background. I wonder if some extra dodging of the background would let the needles and snow show up better.

Nice capture of a fleeting moment close up, Jim. Nothing collects snow like the fine needles of a white pine -- or lets it slide off as quickly under its own weight as the temperature rises, letting the snow slide off and "bombing" anyone under the tree.

I like this take on the theme, Jim! The macro view provides some excellent details at far more intimate level as you suggested. Nicely done!
