Lichen, Tracks & Snow

Image(s)

Image Description

Another NH after-the-snow-photo-stroll capture with a pocket camera, circa 2009. The tracks leading to the lichen-covered tree trunks caught my eye.

Coverted to B&W in LRC and processed to better accentuate the texture in the snow and on the tree trunks.

Intriguing image! Any idea what made the tracks? Love the pillowy snow.

Thanks! My bet it was a squirrel.

This is a very simple composition Jim with only three elements but striking, nonetheless. It was a good candidate for B&W conversion and the tracks make an effective leading line up to the trees. The drifting snow up one trunk is particularly interesting.

Jim: Well seen, composed and processed. As one who prefers to sweat over shivering this brought on the goose bumps. Nicely done. >=))>

Jim, these do look likely to be squirrel tracks as it plowed through the deep snow. Interestingly enough, it doesn’t “feel” like a black and white photo.
