Looking through this foggy window in a cabin by a lake the man on the bench seemed to be haunted by the shadowy figure outside the window.
…on the otherside.
I wonder if they are still together?
I could not decide if I went to far or not with the softening of this image. Eventually I decided I preferred the softened version as it has a dreamlike feeling to it that draws me in. I have included the normal version below that I almost posted instead. Which version do you prefer? Click on the thumbnail below of the unsoftened version to make it bigger.
The sky was a little blown out in this shot I took, but the scene was so beautiful I had to post this photo anyways!
This is a photo I took a few months ago in the Fall of some beatiful dying flowers. The splotchy pink spots looked a bit like lipstick on a white shirt hence the title.
Today is December 21st the official start of Winter. It is very appropriate as outside right now here in Massachusetts is yet another big snowstorm. Winter has been really hitting us fast and hard already here as we have had a huge ice storm and two very big snowstorms all within a weeks time! This is another photo I took last week during the ice storm. I liked the contrast of the leaves with the ice on the trees in the background.
Try saying that 5 times fast 
I took this photo yesterday because I thought these decaying flowers looked really cool. The petals seem to be turning into an almost fur like substance! Here is a photo of these same flowers I posted awhile back before they started dying to compare them!
“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main… Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

As promised here is the same photo as yesterday only this time processed in b&w. I feel that this image takes on a more somber and depressing mood when its in black and white. Now instead of looking out into the beautiful fall landscape planning for a day of hiking it seems the viewer is trapped inside looking out at an outside world that seems so far away and bleak. While in reality only a simple pane of glass separates the viewer from the outside world it may as well be a prison cell. Well of least that was my feelings on the drastic change in tone of the b&w and color versions as I was processing these images.
Here is a photo looking through the window of an old lodge that is next to this pond at borderland state park. I spent a long time trying to decide whether this photo looked better in color or black and white. I would process it in b&w then undo then process and I could not decide which was better so I have decided to post both versions and let you guys tell me which is better! Today I will post this color version and tomorrow the black and white version.
While hiking at Borderland State Park a couple of weeks ago I came across these very cool and gnarly looking pine trees and knew I had to take a picture of them. Sadly the sun was sort of in the way being right behind the trees and I was hiking with other people so did not have much time to compose the shot. This photo is the best of the ones I took of the trees.
I was originally going to post this in color but at the last minute I decided to convert it to b&w to see how it looked and I really liked the results so decided to post it like this instead.
I like how you managed get...
