Recently we experienced an unusual freezing rain which covered everything with a layer of ice. I captured this little plant poking through the snow and encapsulated in glassy ice. I made 3 variations from sharp to soft – which one do you prefer?

Thanks Brian. Yes. It was a crisp, cold day – not my favourite weather for taking photos – but glad I did. I also got some nice Winter Eagle shots the same day – which I will post soon.

Beautiful isn’t it Michael – but oh so cold. I’m ready for the return of warmth! I really liked the middle shot which is a nice blend of focus and softness. The plant is still crisp but the snow looks more realistic. A great subject for the test!

Haha – You are used to the warmth where you reside! I don’t mind cold if it’s sunny out – but Vancouver winter is usually rainy/cloudy/damp – still not used to it though I’ve here all my boring life. I agree with your comments about the middle shot, although I like all 3 for different reasons. Thx for checking in – I know that you have plenty of admirers to keep in touch with!

It looks really nice, Michael! My favourite is the second one. If you get tired of the snow and the ice, please pass it on to us, we haven’t had any so far! 🙂

Haha – Thank-you Dina! Maybe I’ll send you a block of ice for starters! Where in the warm world do you live?

Beautiful, Michael! I think I like the middle one the best. Looks to me as if the ice and snow are here to stay a while. Ya gotta either learn to play with the white stuff or be miserable. I vouch for play!
