Too much snow and ice has come to Oregon. It makes the trees very pretty, until the branches get so heavily coated they break off. I fooled around with a few filters. Any comments are welcome.

Wow, like it's right in my face! I love the perspective on the shot to start with and I really like the soft glow or whatever filter you used here. I guess we got ice storms right across the nation. At least Mother Nature is being even handed with us all this winter. lol

This is just great. Thanks for sharing. I haven't seen snow covered pine needles since I was home for Christmas about a year ago so the nostalgia is really kicking in. Love the composition that really makes this group on the branch stand out. Great!

God has created fantastic beauty for us to photograph and fantastic photographers to bring out that beauty in unique ways.

This shot has a 3D look to it...like the needles are coming right through the monitor. Very nice shot. I heard you had around 28 inches of snow. I've never seen that much at one time.

This is real beauty and I've saved it on my hard drive. I have relatives in Oregon, so I've been sent other pics of the strange weather you've been having.

Great shot, though, and I'm glad you took advantage of the situation.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

I agree with Jim, this is a great capture. Hope you get a break from the snow soon.

The center of the shot is really nice, but there's some strange CA? effects towards the margins. All in all though, a very pleasant image.
