Colors (or, for my over the pond friends, Colours)

Took a day trip to the Chicago Botanical Gardens in Winnetka, IL this weekend. I was surprised at all the colors still evident in the winter landscape. Pumped a little with Topaz Adjust 5, Spicify.

  2. Very pretty ... but it sure doesn't look like it's ready for ice skating.

  8. Fabulous color and composing, hope the storm that hit Col. weakens.(Ive been there several times, sort of close to you right? At least north. Maybe a future meet up? I think I'll be going in March but just for a very short time)

  9. Great colors. I like how the bridge enters the scene.

    I had a girlfriend in college that was from Winnetka. A very spoiled woman who got an Audi for graduation. Did you see her? ;-)

  13. Your photo glows with subtle light and the more subtle colors of winter. (PS did someone haul boulders onto the ice? How? Why?)

  14. That curved edge of the pond makes for a wonderful leading line. It draws your eye all the way through the picture.
