I took these on Saturday at the same time as I took the Feather and pawprint photos that I posted yesterday. See them here
As you can see 2 quite different effects – the 1st with no texture evident in the snow and the leaf lying on top of it; The 2nd with lots of texture and the leaf down into the snow. I tried these in B&W too but preferred the dash of colour.
Gosh I’ve only got a few snow photos left but fear not I’m not quite at the end yet 😉
Thank you for all the lovely comments about my snowy series.
i prefer the leaf upon textured snow .Although the first leaf is a nicer specimen, it could just as well sit on a white tablecloth; it loses the snow effect. But, not taking snow into account, it is a very quiet, serene picture; touching in a way, dreamlike…
The first works for me… I like the way you’ve messed with the format…simply by going wide and slim and dodging out the snow detail, you’ve made a designy type feature out of the pure white and ended up with something more than a straight representation of a leaf..
A good shot to feature a few lines of text….Winter poem?
Really like this Hellen…
Actually I do write poetry Stuart… or did! I don’t really have time to do photography, write and work ( I wish work could go!) but you are right… a Christmas greeting maybe:)

Thanks Marleen… I cannot make up my mind which I like best… which is why I posted them both.. 🙂
I kind of like the “disembodied” feel of the first one, out of context and off to the side.
Thanks Scilla…I liked the curled edge of the leaf..

Yes..Isn’t work an absolute inconvenience?!!
Where’s that silver spoon when you want it?
I saw snow just some times, recently…. and now I’m back in Brazil, and I know few can believe me… but I already miss snow!!!!!
The right sort of snow when it is dry and powdery with no wind is just magical..thanks for coming by Axel 😀
It’s a pleasure! 🙂
Love the simplicity of these shots. Very Zen 🙂
Good way to describe them..
