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!
ReplyDeleteYou'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! :)
ReplyDeleteAt 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!
ReplyDeleteI even see a face..
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it could fit right into Kurt Russell's movie The Thing.
ReplyDeleteYes, it could be a Western landscape.
ReplyDeleteAgree! Especially if you were to crop out the top bit so it lost its context.
ReplyDeleteI actually did crop out the top first and then decided to leave it in to provide context and scale.
ReplyDeleteYes, 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.
ReplyDeleteI picked stump in snow straight away! :-)
haha, yes, agreed.
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteNice shot, however.

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