Where's Spring?

It just keeps snowing here in Flagstaff, so this morning Simone and I went out to the Kachina Wetlands for a XC ski. The fresh powder on top of who knows how many feet of packed snow was heavenly. As we rounded a stand of ponderosa pines, we saw a half-dozen Canada geese floating in a bit of open water. Of course, when they spied Simone, off they flew. I was able to get a few quick snaps before they disappeared. On the image of the geese, I have applied a little vignetting (using Adobe Lightroom) to draw the viewers eye toward the subjects - a technique often used by Ansel Adams. What do you think? Is it too obvious? Annoying? Or just right?

  1. It's kinda hard to see the vignetting on my laptop.

  2. Yes, the vignetting may be hard to detect on a laptop screen, but the effect should be subtle anyway. :-) Stewart
