soft focus technique challenge 49

for the technique challenge 49 - soft focus.
today was our first snowfall so I grabbed a knee-hi and went to shooting! seriously achieved by putting a stocking over the lens and voila! it was flesh colored. kind of intriguing what other colors might do.
This is beautiful but I'm sorry you already got snow! I'm not ready yet!!

@rieva the hose did lend kind of a color cast as well as the softness!

I like the antiqued look the 'filter' gave the image. I like how the one branch of the foreground tree curves perfectly with the wider limb of the background tree.

Nicely done. Great lines, and great softness.

Great that you tried the stocking! It's almost as if you're nice and warm inside, looking at the tree with the red berries/leaves. Lovely softness.

@lyndemc thanks Denise. I have been playing with that shot all summer and fall. never got it framed quite right. I was cutting out most of the larger tree. keeping the trunk in the shot worked much better than what I was previously shooting. I appreciate the feedback
