Photo Non-Contest #172 -- Muted

Click on Written Inc to see this week's photo theme.

I've used most of my really good overcast sky photos before, but here's a new one wherein the tree's autumn leaves have their colors muted by the covering of snow.  (This was taken last year in an early storm.)


If you click on the pic to enlarge it, you can see the interesting patterns of the twigs beneath the snow.  That's my favorite part of the picture.

  1. Fantastically crisp shot- the branches stand out perfectly against the snowy backdrop. Muted, and yet... vivid.

  2. This is one reason why I wish we had snow... I love the way it falls and molds around anything and everything...

  4. Despite not being a fan of winter, I have to admit that snow covered trees are beautiful. And you capture that beauty well in your picture. Almost makes me wish it would snow soon. Almost.
