These images sort of came from just looking around in an area where I stopped for a bit of lunch.
While they may not be up to everyone's idea of what an image should be, I sort of liked them personally for their design. So what the heck...out came the camera!
The frosted ferns were flat against the groundin a little clear area. When I bent down, I could see that the frost was taking on the color of the very blue sky. I put on a neutral density filter to increase exposure time, and this brought out those blues in quite a strong manner. I pondered whether to "tone the blues down", but in the end just left it as it was "out of camera". In my opinion, the blues help augment the rich colors of red, rust and brown in the other parts of the image.
The large Western Red Cedar tree with the "railing branch" and solitary fern also caught my eye. I'm not sure what it might represent, but I felt that homing in on the rather truncated and wholly individual design elements that it gave a sort of unconventional image.
It's all in the eye of the beholder, of course!
roud: It's never a mistake to experiment, as far as I'm concerned.
