Snowy Night Through Blinds (Posterized)

Snowy Night Through Blinds (Posterized)   Originally uploaded by randubnick

The story of this image begins last weekend.  It had been snowing all day.  Around dinnertime, I peeked outside.  The porch light was on, and I liked the way it looked as it hit the snow-covered trees.  I took some pictures right through the window blinds. Tonight I was looking through those photos. I liked the composition of this image, but it was slightly out of focus.  Sometimes pictures that are out of focus can make for interesting effects.  So I opened the image in Painter, and posterized it.  Here is the result.
