Merry Christmas y'all :) . I took this last year in upstate SC after the first white Christmas we had since 1963 . Found that black frame at photobucket and kinda liked it . It made the bottom edge a little uneven but not too bad and is something different. Hope some enjoy.

Very nice! Where in the upstate? I was born/raised in Spartanburg.

Frankie, Merry Christmas ! Thanks, it was taken in Greenville and are my Mom's phaenopyrums .
See Santa tramping thru the snow on left hunched over with the wreath beside him followed by the triangular Christmas tree on the right :D

Neat Cature! Love the color contrast here! However, I'd wish for more shape in the snow! Its there for the taking, just go back and reprocess for more shape! i.e...add about 25-35% recovery and do a slight (20%) minus highlight curve in Lightroom or ACR!

Also, I'd color the white border inside the frame. It really is a bad distraction and pulls the eye to the image sides. Perhaps a cream color or light gray! Or other colors,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What a great Christmas postcard that image would make! Greens and Reds ... with snow ... perfect.
