Spring has arrived in Colorado!

Truly a very springlike scene for April in Colorado but definitely not here. And it looks like a pretty good coating of the white stuff and it is still falling. I happen to like snow but I am out of that mode for the time. I am guessing it is a black and white although sometimes it is hard to tell with snow scenes. Good contrast on the dark tree trunk with the snow covering the branches. Love the title. I hope you were not really in the spring frame of mind as this would be really mind blowing. Nicely composed with good impact. Thanks for sharing.

    LOL! I always include snow in my spring frame of mind so my mind doesn't blow--thank you so much for your wonderful review, I appreciate your time!

Good initial impact.
Center of interest is nicely framed.
There is movement in the snow and wind.
Good focus and lighting.
The black and white adds to the mood. Excellent title. It sounds though you had enough of the snow lol! Hope you feel better tomorrow!

    LOL! Yep, I would have been just fine without this snow storm. It is still snowing this AM but in a couple of days we will not even know it happened--Thank you so much for your review, I appreciate your time!

I don't know if you really know what kind of photo you have here. But, people pay good money for this kind of "Crap". :) The exposure is perfect for this kind of black and white photography. This style is what made Ansel Adams famous. The composition is perfect and the bend of the tree really make for one big gale. Thanks for sharing this great photo.

Ethereal, brilliantly white and great for Spring. You did an excellent job with this lighting, focus, contrast, and overall intensely powerful yet soft photograph.
This could be great story material as it has inspired a short poem from me. Which I will definitely share soon.

Comment from Mattison


I am thinking, if you live where white 'crap' falls and you don't like white 'crap', you should move! LOL!!... But, then again, I live in a desert where there is too much hot 'crap' and I don't like it so I should move!! LOL!
OK, as for the photograph...
The focus looks OK but there is a bit of glare from the sun off some of some of that white 'crap' (LOL) but overall, nice shot and post!!

    Too funny Mattison! I think I will stay put, I like white crap better than hot crap!! Lived in TX for 24 years and all I had to do to break a sweat was open my eyes!! Thank you for this great review!!

    Well... When I get rich, I am going to move to the Oregon Coast where there isn't any white OR hot crap!! LOL
    Actually, I live in NE AZ where it gets very cold in winter and we also just had a bit of snow yesterday! Summers are cooler than PHX thank God!!
    You are welcome for the review by the way.
