(too much snow, in fact), I went out into the below zero wind chill today to try to get some winter photos. This one didn't work out quite as well as I would have liked, but look who I found out in that cold. I didn't want to scare her and make her use energy that she might need later, so this is as good as I could get.

(130,974 posts)Look at the next picture, STILL didn't go out, but got it later and from a different window.
The 'official' weather says 18 degrees and wind @ 14 mph, but as I'm isolated as you can see, no way the official weather's correct for me here.

(18,219 posts)I don't even want to know what the wind chill factor was. And I have no doubt that you are worse off than the weather reports say, with all that open water. Brrrrr.

(18,219 posts)if that stick would not have been in the way of the eye. I don't know when I will learn to get a few shots by just moving a little. Although I didn't want to spook the rabbit, I could have bent down a few inches, then down a few more, and taken more shots. I guess that this is the kind of photo where you learn to be more careful.

(19,459 posts)I read, look at other's images, etc., but too too often get ready to snap a photo and suddenly anything I've managed to learn about photography flies right out of my head, and I'm just hitting the shutter release. It is very, very frustrating.
I agree that this would have been a better image if that branch weren't blocking bun's eye, but I still like this shot. In its own way it shows the close relationship of animals to their surroundings. And the colors are very nice.
I think being cognizant of how the elements in the frame are composed is probably something all photographers wrestle with to some degree.
Like alfredo once told me: take lots and lots of photos.
