Snow Berries on a Burl
Mission:
To emulate the style of Ansel Adams, American (1902-1984).
WIT: I tried to take a quintenssential AA pic of an amazing landscape. I couldn't cut it. The landscape was not the problem; there are a lot of mountains and an mighty river out my back door, but I could not get anything close to the AA sharpness. And the tonal ranges on my landscape attempts were not good, partly because the weather has been very gray and overcast. So this is the 'northern' emulation of AA's gardenia(?) and driftwood. I plucked a snowberry branch and propped it on a really wonderful huge burl on a tree along my dog-walking path. I found this a difficult assignment, and I really didn't have a lot of time to work on it, but I do like this composition. I think it is better in b&w than the original in colour - I converted in pp and cropped.
