Just A Stump

Nothing special, just a stump. We were out for a drive and I was trying to take some pictures of some swans that would not swim where I wanted them to... darn birds (are swan birds?) any who... I took a picture of a stump. You will get to see my uncooperative swan shots here in the next few days.

Too bad the swans wouldn't cooperate, but it's still a nice shot!

The vignette/burning around the edges really allows that stump to stand out amid all the other stuff. nice job.

I love the somber, silent feel of this. I bet it'd rock in b/w, too.

Nice contrasts with the texture of the bark and the smooth snow and the dark and lights.

Love this photo! I guess the swans are like my toddler...never doing what I want him to.

Love the blue in the background. It really makes the snow crisper.

Aww, too bad about the swans! But I really like this shot, it really appeals to me for some reason, I just can't put my finger on why. It is so crisp and I can almost smell the snow! :)

Great contrast, detail, and processing in this! But aren't the lakes frozen? Where would they swim?

I like all the shadows. The "are swans birds?" cracked me up. :-D

Mandy said...

I really love all of the branches coming in from the side. It gives the photo a really neat feeling to it.

So swans are just as bad subjects as my kids? Good to know...

And that stump belongs in a frame.
