I walked through the berry bushes into the old orchard through a couple of feet of snow. The trees were beautiful. On one of the old apple trees a single apple was stuck between a couple of branches. It stood out because everything else was black and white.Lessons Learned:
- I didn't want to use a circular polarizer filter because it reduces the beauty of the snow. At the same time the filter would have enhanced the color of the apple. So, instead I manipulated the lighting levels on the apple with an image manipulation program.
- Following animal tracks are not always the easiest way to get out of the berry bushes. Rabbits have the advantage of being able to run under the bushes. I should have payed more attention to the Brer Rabbit stories.

Cool shot! I like the apple a lot, it looks really nice amid the chaos of the branches in the rest of the picture.
Also... note to self: no CPL for snow shots. Haha thanks for the tip.
Andrew, you can thank RuneE for the tip. He told me, but I did experiment. I agree with him.
new camera too?
I think it came off well. Photoshop can do wonders with things like this.
PS Thank you for the plug :-)
