Purrrrr.... or should it be burrrr....
I shot some of these cattails this summer thought I would see how they held up as a winter shot.
I've adjusted the background blur, not sure if this is conducive with the image. Thought I would share it the way it is at the moment.

Simple - but effective. The blur background adds a lot to the shot.

Love it, I think the background blur looks great, really makes the cattail pop. Nice detail in the snow and ice too.

Very effective image Brad. Good background work to make the cattail stand out. Two things could make this even better IMO, a bit more room at the top and cloning over the blown out snow at the top left of the cattail with some of the blue toned snow.
