Theme: Sweet gum trees

[Judy Howle]

Photo of sweet gum tree full of seed pods that we call "sweet gum balls" that are a curse when it comes to mowing the lawn. I used Exposure 7 and Snow Daze filters on it.

Hello Judy!

Really sweet frame, resembles a postcard to me!

Lovely colours and the snow a nice touch. Love your imagination and use of those filters, very arty.
Enjoyed viewing, thank you so much for this post. Hope you have a Happy New Year filled with joy, I look forward to your images in 2016

Kind regards,

[Judy Howle]

Thanks for the lovely comment Gabriela! You made my day!

A very eye-catching combination of the black lines of the silhouetted gum tree against the softness of the pinks, blues and snowflakes in the background! The bare branches of the trees seem eloquent to me, as they reach out and up into the heavens. The round sweet gum balls and the round snow flakes are nice, but subtle, repeating shapes. A small change would be to remove that diagonal line in the upper left.

Thanks Nancy! I didn't care for that line either. It was part of the old film frame. I removed it.

Wonderful -- I love it!

Thanks Diane!

Hi, Judy, the repost makes it perfect. I love the combinations of the hard sweet gum balls and the soft snow and the mixture of blues and pinks. Lovely, lovely image.
