I took this picture in the middle of a snowstorm. The image looks a bit foggy, but the fog is actually falling snow. I have tried a variety of filters and cropping. I love the picture, but I’ve never gotten it exactly the way I want it. This version is the closest yet. There are three visual areas: the foreground weeds, the middle trees and house, and the sky which tends to pixellate.
In previous versions, I cropped out most of the sky to allow me to bring up more detail in the center and foreground, but this time, I tried holding all three areas to give of the feeling of the ongoing storm.

Yes. Snow is pretty. It’s probably the best thing about it, that it’s photogenic 🙂

Thats a beauty! We don’t see snow as often in the UK, maybe one week per year, if that where I am on the south coast.

We see it far too often. Can I ship some to you? We have MORE than enough 🙂

Great photo. It would be so lovely to be walking across that field, all bundled up, snow crunching underfoot.
I can even actually see the snow falling – oh wait, that’s WordPress snow 🙂

But it’s appropriate because it was indeed snowing when I took the picture and me and my friend did go crunching across that field. Carefully. We are at that age where falling is a bad idea 🙂

This is such a gorgeous photo! With your kind permission, could I possibly use this photo as a reference for a painting (most likely either acrylic or watercolor)? I am not promising that I will do it since I often have good intentions and ideas that I never follow up on. Of course, if I got around to it and it turned out, I’d be happy to make sure you have a print of it, should you be interested.
Thanks,

Enjoy. It might be much better as a painting. I’ve never quite gotten it the way I want … not quite. It’s the sky. I never have it perfect.

Thank you; that’s very generous of you. If I get around to it as I intend, and if I’m satisfied with the result, you’ll see the fruit of my work!

Right now I am in the middle of finishing and starting commissions, so if it happens, it won’t be right way. On the other hand, I’m thinking that it may be the inspiration for a piece of art I’ll do as a Christmas gift. But don’t hold your breath unless you can do that better than David Blaine (the illusionist)! lol

What breath? Between asthma and heart disease, not much of that to hold 🙂 I’m patient. If you need me to send you a better or bigger file of the pictures, I can do that. Just let me know.

Thanks! Will keep that in mind!
