Description Full view is much. much better

Time, time, time, see what’s become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
But look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the salvation army band
Down by the riverside, it’s bound to be a better ride
Than what you’ve got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
And look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That’s an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again
Look around, the grass is high
The fields are ripe, it’s the springtime of my life

Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won’t you stop and remember me
At any convenient time
Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime

But look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around, leaves are brown
There’s a patch of snow on the ground...

Lyrics of Simon and Garfunkel

I don't know if I need your permission for this, but do you mind if I use this image as my wallpaper? I'll give you credit!

I must say, I love the title. It's a good song. And as always, the photograph amazes me. I love how that little pile of branches manages to look like a snowflake (when it's not in full view). Unless that's just my mind seeing things. In any case, it's beautiful. The way you changed the colors to blue gives a very good effect.

Woah! You must love these blue winter shots
I wonder with the manip you do to these (i read your responce to what editing you do) whether they could go under the category of darkroom, or manipulation? Not sure myself, i havn't read about what should be under these categories much.
I don't enjoy this one quite as much as the one i previously commented on, but that is because i think it's a little too maniped-looking. This is just my personal preference of course!
I do like the left bottom corner of this where the reeds are all pointing in one direction, as if they were trying to avoid the frost, but were caught in motion, and you have framed the shot well (both where you pointed the camera, and the border you added when editing).
Nice work!

I like the color. The feeling and the quality. Yes, I have noticed that you have been using loads of blue with the last 5 or 6 I have seen... very cold and chilly, which is the cool part

we do live a few miles from a park. that is where i have been taking the river pictures. the woods and swamp pictures are taken behind our house. we have a few acres of wetlands that always offer inspiration to me.

aquapell In reply to mdt [2004-12-13 11:04:45 +0000 UTC]

nothing to involved just reduce the color shot to monochrome. i use the equivalent of a red filter when i did this. go to channel mixer and set red at 100 and everything else to 0. check monochromatic to get the other colors out.
then go to colorize and set it to your desired shade. i also used a smoothing filter called neat image to reduce grain from the dark exposure.
hope this has been helpful. if you have any questions i would be more than happy to do my best
