I capture this image with my phone during the recent, Seattle, Snowmagedden 2019. processed in the phone with added contrast and saturation. Now that I see it on a computer screen, it is a bit over saturated.

That's sure an attention getter, Phil. I don't feel it's over saturated. Those popping red berries make the shot. Good find, buddy. Your phone work blows me away.

I like it. The random distribution of red berries makes a nice pattern.

denisegoldberg · February 21, 2019

I like this!

Richard · February 21, 2019

Nice. I don't think the saturation is a problem--you want the red to stand out, I think.

Stumblebum · February 22, 2019

Stunning Phil! Yeah if you can make red jump out....maybe play with whites....cheers!

Nice find. Snowmageddon brought some art with her. Glad you captured this.

Thanks Tom. I haven't had much time in awhile to chase the light seriously, but certain things catch the eye, and you have to use the tools at hand. It had been so long since I picked up the SLR, that when I went to use it for a shot of a nice buck laying in the snow, in my backyard, the batteries were dead. They're charged now!

Thanks for viewing and commenting. I saw this tree and had a vision of the shot I wanted. 20 years ago I might have kept driving, but I learned that the shot won't be there when you get a chance to go back, it'll be different. People that ride with me frequently, are used to me whipping off to the side of the road, or pulling a crazy Ivan, to get a picture.

Phil, I like it as is--the red needs to stand out to make this shot and it does. Very nice capture!

I agree.

Fun shot Phil... and I can truly appreciate the experience of snow in Seattle, having survived the great Christmas blizzard of 1991, including a 17-hour power outage.

Cristóbal, and Sara, Thanks for viewing and commenting. Sara, we still have 4-5 inches of snow in the yard, and the possibility of more to come.

OMG my sympathies go out to you. Drive carefully!!!

I like the color contrast, Phil. The saturation helps.

Cornflake · February 27, 2019

Just saw this, Phil, and I agree with the consensus. It's very cool.

torags · February 28, 2019

Really nice Phil...

Jeeze these smartphone cams... they have come along

Good grab

Thanks guys, for the comments and suggestions.

I like the way the red pops a bit - It adds to the depth of the image. I'd leave it as is.
