 It snowed all day and despite forecasts for 3-4 inches we got 12 inches of snow. The light was just really grey and flat and I was only out because I had an appointment to go to. So this was an appropriate challenge. Introducing the Orton effect became an invitation to overcome the shortcomings of the day.

Thanks for the comments.

PS Lydia, this was the extent of this clump of trees!

8 from me. I wish you'd captured the scene as a horizontal image so I could enjoy more of it.
