Wonderfull. Not sure the single snow flake adds to the image though?Shot with EP-1 and 40mm f1.4 CV
figure waling in the snow with a single snow flake in focus. It's the white dot on the figure.

Re: Snowflake
Agree here. It might be a charming anecdote among photographers but as it is it seems more of a defect than part of the image from a bystander's point of view.

I am glad the blend is modest here because I love the light on this sensual landscape.Thanks. We had a blast yesterday. Also nice color photos.

I agree. I almost cloned it out, but I decided to leave it to look at for awhile. I would like to shoot the same image over during the next snowy day when there are lot's of blowing snow flakes, and to try and capture as many flakes sharp as possible. I think that would add some nice depth to the image.

The blend is only the frame and some tinting by the blending picture.

Hi !
Many excellent images shown by all participants here :thumbup::thumbup:
I'm quite new to "blends", two weeks ago, I had never used layers
Today, I wanted to share with you a pic I shot this morning, with my Zoom-Nikkor 50-300/4.5

He shoots in very low light at dusk or dawn with long exposures, and used a flash to capture the flakes - somewhere on his site, he tells how he did it

Mike - this is one of the best snow flake images I've seen

Re: Girl in a streetcar.
I like this image but I get the impression a little more general contrast, while masking the girl's face, would improve it.

Google it, or just check these two for starters:

No waiting necessary. It's relatively easy to create falling snow in Photoshop (you don't even need 14Gigs of RAM, Mike!).

Re: Snowflake Fabrication
I originally thought that Mikes dot was an imperfection. But as it is so difficult to capture just one flake out of trillions, I would keep it and maybe donate it to the Smithsonian :deadhorse:
Looks a bit like the little dots that I had all over my early bokehgraphs - turned out to be dust on the sensor, and I haven't got it all off yet.

These artificial snow images remind me of a sand storm that I experienced once near Monument valley. We stepped out from our hotel room for an hour, and came back to find a foot of sand in it.

Thanks for the Links Keith and Michael. I'll keep working on capturing the snow. I think it is suppose to snow in a few days.
Here is another in my series of walking in the snow. It is made up of 3 images plus texture. The figure was really there. Just in case you are wondering. This is a work in progress. When it comes time to print, I might have to change the densities in the blacks.

Thank you Michael. Now I have to find myself a masking tutorial and try it out.

Re: Masking Tutorial
No need. Simply duplicate the layer and click on the mask button. Click over the little image icon to its left to activate the layer rather than the mask and do your Curves adjustment etc. on this layer. Then click on the Mask icon again and wherever you paint over it in black it will seem to remove the adjustment you've just made on the whole layer. A simple reminder Black=Blocks the effect.

Glad you like it. This is with the 7-14mm. I am sure you will get this lens eventually
