Winter Reflections

Winter Reflections, a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

This is a photo that I took at Bradley Palmer State Park last week. (We had stopped for a walk with the dog after a trip to the vet.) In the summer, this pond is full of water lilies and bordered by cattails. And most winters, this is a landscape in snow and ice. But in this dry winter, this is a landscape in rich golds and browns. You can still see the stalks of the cattail plants bordering the pond. Tonight I used Painter to adjust the shadows and to obscure a sign with a little digital pastel. I also used Painter to create a posterized version of this photo, as well as and a digital woodcut. To be continued.
