Snowdrift Lines & Curves
Winter photography is usually so much subtler than all other seasons, especially fall with its bold colors. Landscapes are devoid of color and everything is white and clean. Lots of distractions are buried in snow.
There are a lot of subtle details in nature too, like in this abstract photograph of snow on Lake Erie. A snowdrift formed along the lakeshore and this is a close up photograph of the lines that got carved out along the edges of the drift. All high key white on white with subtle tonal differences between the light and shadow bringing the windswept edges out to admire
