Shot after the first snow of the year on the deck at the rear of my house. I wanted something that would really pop off the snow. My first shot left the snow too gray, so I had to go back and reshoot with better settings.

The extreme contrast here (and the way the branch is washed out) didn't work for me here; I would have liked to have seen it shot a little more closely, and with exposure set with an eye to bringing out the branch and berries.
