Fog over Snow #2

A wonderful fog set in following the rapid rise in temperature in Ottawa. This turned into a great opportunity to shoot these muted trees on the snow covered barren landscape.

The original image was overlaid and combined with an image of crumpled up wax-paper to give the interesting texture.

    This shot is exquisite!! I love the thought that went into creating the feel for this, good choice with the wax paper. It feels cracked and cold.

    You have my vote of course. Would love to see what the image looks like without the wax paper texture, too

    Thanks everyone! Today I tried Aluminum Foil (thanks to Serge's suggestion). Not really sure of the results yet? A work in progress...
