Fallen Tree and Snow

Uploaded: January 14, 2007

Description

1/40 at f/7.1; Lens 17-85 f/4-5.6; Focal Length 59; ISO 200; Hand Held; Natural Light.

I really liked the contrasting angles of these trees, particularly with the way the snow accentuates the one that has fallen. Made at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL.

Awesome snow scene with the fallen tree providing a great design element. Well presented in black and white, John!! #589471

I like your snow scene, John! The leaning tree adds such dimension to the image. Before I read the caption my first thought was, "He must live in Illinois!" Sure enough. It looked just like this here, the other day. Nice design and tones, and I like the quiet winter mood! #3830456

Thanks so much Larry. I'm glad you connected with it. The Morton Arboretum is a great place for photos, particularly in the "off seasons." #3855036

When I see wonderful snow pictures (like this one) I wish we had snow here (near Sacramento, CA). But that goes away when I remember frozen toes and big shovels! The strong graphic is what I like best.
