This is for Dales Challenge. MY flash was connected with a cord, so I was placing it underneath and shooting upwards underneath the leaf so as not to blow out the snow. #1549968Dale Hardin October 25, 2013
Nice job Beth. The image has so much more depth and interest than the one with ambient light even if the the ambient light was opened up to a correct exposure. #10881138Jeff E Jensen October 25, 2013

This really did achieve what Dale was asking us to try Beth. Excellent. I'm just glad we only have a very few days of this white stuff each year even if it's pretty. #10881477Michael Kelly October 26, 2013
These are wonderful. They show off so well with the great lighting and nice contrast with the red and white. Well done!PS I am not ready for snow either. Two nice days left here before the weather change on Monday. 74 today. #10881613

Beth, these are beautiful images and a great example of Dale's challenge. The snow has texture and is not blown out, and the red color looks natural. Great job! #10881628Kalena Randall October 27, 2013

Thanks so much to everyone! Our snow is gone and I am sure the leaves will be gone by tomorrow as we have high wind warnings tonight.Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
