I walked around our neighborhood a couple days ago after the first winter storm on Cape Cod that blanketed our world with ten inches of snow. Here’s an image I had fun playing with. The original photograph, a sort of pencil sketch version, and a watercolor style version. The last one blows out the highlights, breaking the traditional photography rule of having detail in the whites. But I like it…
What’s your favorite?



2nd picture is best!
I agreee with Cindy….#2
Dorene – I guess it depends on what you’r looking for, or what grabs you. I personally like the first picture – the sky has more character, the tree ‘skeleton’ is accentuated, and the contrast appeals to me. On a different day, I might have a different view. rob king
I like the 1st picture the best. I like the contrast of the snow against the bark, I like the more defined sky.

Thanks for your comments, everyone. And a neighbor let me know he liked no. 3 best. Art is indeed in the eye of the beholder!
