I haven't decided where I'm going with this challenge/contest yet so I'm just shooting to see what comes up. Here's one from today, straight form the camera, no PP. Any initial reactions?:

It's interesting, but doesn't quite say chilled to me. I went out today in the morning and shot a bunch of shots with snow on the ground as well, but they don't say chilled to me either.

You nailed it if your going for the ultra grainy look though.

I saw your posts about the color variations between what you see in PS and what shows up here on dGrin and I do like the warmer (PS) version better, even though a bluish cast can convey cold. I hope you will keep shooting, though, because, while it is a very interesting photograph, the juxtaposition of Christ on the cross with the distant light house in a not very compelling landscape just doesn't pull together thematically to make the dramatic photograph I know you can create.

Jesus on the cross looked cold to me but that may have been because I was.
pyroPrints, sunita, I agree with you, just taking photographs of snow doesn't seem to say chilled, does it? I was mostly just shooting as I drove around doing work related stuff to see if something clicked. I didn't have a vision of what I was trying to do.
SloYerRoll, some of the grain may be fine blowing snow, I'm not sure. A Canon PowerShot A430 won't go above ISO 400, the grain I can't explain, except that it's a $150.00 camera and the attachment process is hard on photographs. I should really break down and get a SmugMug account soon. And perhaps a better camera.
Virginia, thank you for your faith in my imagination. You've got more than I do I'm afraid. We'll there's still a week and a half so I'll see what I can come up with.
Another one for your consideration. No PP yet, straight from the camera, taken a few minutes ago.
