Snowy Blue Pool

Hello all. We rarely experience heavy snowfall in Tennessee. Last year we received an unexpected snowfall that stuck briefly, then melted away within hours. It was truly a photographer's scramble! This photo was taken below Rutledge Falls, a private property in Tullahoma, TN that is left open for the enjoyment of the public. It was gorgeous down there!



Thanks for viewing. C&C always welcome.

Regards,
Mark

Thanks much for the comments. The Rutledge Falls area is a beautiful place year round. The snow was a real bonus - and just one mile from home!

Natalie, I enjoyed the rock crawlin' photos in your gallery.

Best,
Mark

Welcome to Dgrin, Mark!

Great first post. Good for you for getting out into the snow while it lasted.

Dumb question, but is this a B&W conversion or full color?

Cheers,

Thanks for the welcome, Joel. Much appreciated!

It is a full color shot with a high contrast treatment making the rocks and trees look almost black. The clouds had broken somewhat and the sky had given the water a weak blue color. I liked the way the blue water looked against the almost B&W surroundings and (feeling artsy and just a touch rebellious) added just a bit more blue tint in post. I thought it made it look like a place where fairies might hang out in the winter (not that I'm really big on fairies or anything...), and initially named it "Blue Fairy Pool". I later dropped that name in favor of "Snowy Blue Pool" for everyday gallery use.

Regards,
Mark
