Remnants of Winter

It was 70 degrees F. today! It felt so good to walk outside without even a sweater on. I was on the hunt for something that would translate well as either a black and white subject or do well processed as an hdr and was drawn to this assortment of leftovers Nature (and a couple of squirrels) deposited on my garden chair.

@annied Thank you Annie!

[Janet B.]

Fantastic in black and white! I love the variety of textures and evidence of squirrels! :-)

@janetb Thank you Janet! This may be the one I submit. I felt the textures and shapes worked really well with the hdr format.

Love the crispness you achieved with just the right amount of HDR. Did you look at the histogram before you shot? FAV

[Maggiemae]

Nice crisp contrast and an autumny feel about it - or maybe its winter!

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

Ever so nicely done, Ann. I love the contrast between the background lines and the leaves in the foreground.
