Patterns in snow and woods

 

I think this shot worked better than the next, to see that limb coming up off the log.

There just too much happening between the snow and the creek...which was the focal point, but the snow sort of takes away from the white water. Can't have both in one shot, I'm beginning to think.

What creek? It's just the long shadow going horizontally.

While I didn't think the sapling would detract from this shot, it ended up with me wishing I'd not included it here.

Sorry to keep on critiquing everything, but this just has too much happening.!

A failed pano shot...apparently that shadow of the tree really gummed up the focusing of the phone!

I'm going to blame these failures on the cold...couldn't believe how cold this little vale was compared to civilized parking lot.
