Did you ever take a shot because it looks interesting only to come back to the computer and find that the pic looks like something else entirely? Well, I took this shot while out wandering in a light snowfall and when I looked at it later it looked to me like one of Randy's (from Santa Fe DP) cliff shots rather than the stump of a white elm tree that has been in our local park for a few years! Agree or disagree.

Yes, I did, many times!
You're right, I agree with you. Besides that, for me snowy shots are always cool. ;-)
The first thing I thought was it's a stump. But it does look nice in the snow! :)
At first I thought it was one of those flat-topped mountains seen in the west...and that the photo was taken from a long distance. But then I noted some figures in the background which put a sense of scale into the photo. It's a great photo, though. Crop the background out and do frame it and hang it as a "mystery" photo and see what people think!
I even see a face..
It looks like it could fit right into Kurt Russell's movie The Thing.
Yes, it could be a Western landscape.
Agree! Especially if you were to crop out the top bit so it lost its context.
I actually did crop out the top first and then decided to leave it in to provide context and scale.
Yes, indeed, Pat. I have often shot macros and then afterwards tried to remember what they were. By habit I now shoot a long shot to orient me and then do the macros.
I picked stump in snow straight away! :-)
haha, yes, agreed.
This would be a cool cliff shot!
It looks like a stump to me, but if you had cropped it a little lower to eliminate the things at the top left, I think you would have had the Randy cliff effect.
I was just about to say the same thing Jack said. If you had cropped the top, I would have been willing to think it was a mountain, but with the background I knew it was a stump in the snow.
Nice shot, however.

That does look like some of our snow covered mountains. I love it.
Great shot anyway Red, but I agree the top corner has to be cut!! Gosh we're a critical bunch haha!
... Or a volcano in the Andes. :-)
It looks COLD to me!
Happens all the time, love this though, you are right it looks like a flat topped snow covered volcano.
Definitely an interesting and beautiful shot Red Pat..! Have a nice weekend..
This is so cool looking RedPat.
Thanks for you kind thoughts.
