Snow on Branches (Posterized Photo)


Snow on Branches (Posterized Photo)

It snowed yesterday and this morning the tree branches were covered with snow. I took a few pictures through the window because I liked the effect of the branches backlit by the morning sun and the tracery in the background. (Most people don't think of snow as linear, but snow places a lot of visual emphasis on line.) Tonight I cropped this image out of the original photo, then used Painter to adjust the exposure because the next step was to posterize the image, which often makes things darker.
