Aqua Snow

One of the great advantage of photographing snowscapes is the ability to screw with attributes like saturation, hue, temperature, and tint to create special effects. Because of all the white and contrast inherent in photographing snow, one can create cool, often surreal, downright nifty scenes rather easily. In this shot, I took the original, which was a nice picture in it's own right, and messed with it until I achieved a look that I was happy with. All in less than the time it took to drink my cup of coffee. Who says art can't be relatively painless?
