Snow Rising
Here is my vision of a spring snow in a strange world. Floatsam creates the illusion of snow gently "rising" on this upside down world. I know, I know ... now where is that white rabbit! :biggrin:

5D, 24-70L @46mm, 1/15 @ f/11, ISO 400, circ polarizer (partial)

Wayne - I really like this, but I think you've got it upside down! Seriously, when you rotate it 180 degrees, it looks pretty magical. Very nice!!

Wayne, I am with Tim. Rotate this one and some magic happens. Great artistic eye and execution.

Yep, I think you need to rotate it too, Wayne. Cool shot!

O.K. Wayne - - I'm not sure what you were smoking - But , will you be bringing any of it to the Spring Gathering ?? Seriously - I like the shot and either way gives pause to consider what is going on in it. :toast:

To make it easier to compare, here's the rotated version everyone's suggesting.

(Man, I can't even find the best comp in an upside down exposure!!!) :eek: Thanks for the suggestion! :wavey:

Nice one! I can only repeat what Dominic said.

Beautiful, Wayne! Not to make this a group cropping exercise, but I like Gale's suggestion too. Just a tad off the rocks might not hurt.
