I've learned not to be afraid of post processing, and so like Keni (and Linda from Maine), I like the first photograph. It is interesting to look at and not merely a "snapshot" which I think is what the second and third photographs end up being.

Topaz Treatment turned it into a lovely "textured" photograph. I like it!

Thanks for the kind words and the thumbs-up, Dane.

Thank you, Pat.

Thank you, Jim. Appreciate your kind words.

I'll go with one of Tim's titles:

"I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas"

My take makes it painterly; somewhat Japanese, perhaps.

Appreciate the compliment. Thank you. I got out of my car at my driveway and looked down. There was the photograph. We only have to "look."

Thank you, Transbuff. I'm really pleased with that double exposure.

I like how this photograph turned out, but my knowledge of the "technical language" of photography is not strong. Would this be an example of "Golden Triangle?" "Rule of Thirds?"

"The Green and the Brown After the Rain"

Thank you, Lesley. Really appreciate your kind words.

Thank you, Sue, for your lovely compliment. Really appreciate it!
