Description There was snow in the forcast for this morning, if you can call what it did snowing, it left enough of the white stuff on the ground to lightly dust everything for a couple hours before it cleared up, got sunny and dissappeared. I took my camera to work with me just in case I saw a photo opportunity on the way home after I got off. I was riding my bike on the way home and sidetracked to pick up a couple job applications and happened by a small forested butte that looked really good with the light dusting of snow on it and snapped a couple pictures. I forgot that I had my camera set at an ISO of 400 so please excuse any grainyness as my camera doesn't really handle anything over an ISO of 100 very well without getting some noise in the shot.

This is two images stitched together manually in photoshop then I basically enlarged the picture to put behind the panorama to fill the negative space on either side then ran a couple filters on the background image to obscure it a little, which isn't really visible in this version but will be quite visible on the 18x24 print I was able to conjour up out of this image.

I just wish my wife was here to share the snow with me, even though she's in Canada and has probably seen enough snow already this year.

Interesting...took me a little bit to pull together what you did with the background. I like it though, I'm always a fan of creative framing

Wow the frost looks really beautiful against the green. I love the trunk in the foreground and I reckon the transparent framing does suit the composition. Great shot.

Awesome! I love it, very pretty. Love the green and the red, it helps take away from the normal snow picture.
Very nice, I really like how you did the boarder in such. Great shot.

Glad you have snow, we could use some

Nice work bud, good composition. I am not keen on trasparent framing but it looks quite good done in this way.

there done.

hehe jk.

The colors are awesome and the lack of colors are awesome... if you don't have a macro lens get one and the frost looks amazing that close up. I like what you did with the desaturated border it draws the eyes in to the center of greenery.
