Snow Ground, a photo from Virginia, South

Photographer's Note

Just a simple scene near my house. It is so easy to walk by the every day things around us and not see them because there is no eye grabbing color or fantastic moment happening. I was struck by the quiet serenity of a light snowfall. The footprints lead up to the playground but no sign of any play. At times (very few I am afraid) its just quiet.

Tech: 10 frames blended together in PS with 15 layers. No filters or tremendous color work. Just plenty of masking.

This is pretty impressive, Craig. The large version is seamlessly put together, and conveys a feel of "being there". Seeing this vacant playground is kind of surreal, but at the same time the different elements and the shadows cast by them make a very interesting composition. It's simplicity, but captured with a great love for detail. Well done.
