Starkness of Winter by hjbenson

Starkness of Winter

Went out for a walk today. The colours of Spring, Summer, and Autumn are gone; Winter is here, even though we have only have gotten a dusting of snow so far this season.

@dancelaughlove Thank you Karina, you can see how the forest interacts with itself in the winter
@pwallis Thank you Paula, I like using b&w during this season
@naomi Thank you Naomi, I really appreciate that :)
@tralo29 Thank you Tracey, that is what I was looking for

I like the starkness of the trees.. The B&W was a great choice to help really make a statement..
January 8th, 2012  
Love the starkness & contrast
January 8th, 2012  
love the bare trees with the b&w processing...nicely captured
January 8th, 2012  
Wonderful wintry feel!
January 8th, 2012  
The B&W really makes the trees look unattractive. Makes it look like winter isn't so much fun. ;-) Great job!
January 8th, 2012  
I like this in black and white :)

It's interesting to see how the change of seasons changes the mood of the same landscape... from rebirth to slumber and back again.

@buggus Thank you Oleta, I went out with the idea in my head and B&W helped
@mikichelle Thank you Miki, that was what I was trying to capture
@angievega Thank you Angie, the look neater in b&w
@mummymorris Thank you Janet, now all we need is snow :)

@jeancarl Thank you Jean, that was feeling I was after with this photo
@kimmistephens Thank you Kimmi, I agree colour would not make the same statement
@raj366 Thank you Raj, though all we had was one cold spell so far
January 8th, 2012  
Beautiful shot! My husband & I like to go for those walks when we can too. He does tell me I stop to often to take pictures

@myhrhelper Thank you Kathy, Gail puts up with me taking the camera, but sometimes I wonder :)

Lovely shot, the seasons are strange. They seem so late this year. Here is New Zealand, summer is usually half way through, but we've had so much rain and it seems as if our usualy summer hasn't really begun!
Love your choice for black and white!

Very pretty winter white.

@angieqs Thank you Angie, each season brings its own joy and sorrow in its time, from photos New Zealand seems like a beautiful place with a lot of contrasts, I hope to visit there sometime.
@jendee3 Thank you Jen, winter - I find - is a season of contrasts
