Challenge: Natural Numbers (Classic Editing)
Collection: Nature/Outdoors
Camera: Nikon D100
Location: McConnel's Mill, Pennsylvania
Date: Mar 7, 2003
Aperture: 8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/250
Date Uploaded: Mar 8, 2003

 I literally wandered through the woods at a nearby State Park in hopes of finding something -- anything -- that looked like a "natural number." My prayers were answered when I happened to catch a glimpse of a log that had branches sticking out of it from above, and the shadow formed a nearly-perfect "4" on the fresh snow. This was one of those challenges that I had NO idea how I was going to meet. Just got lucky this time!

Fine four. could have been framed down to it. The picture is little too bare in its actual form..

Captured the snow well - many do not. Good "Four".

Great shot for a difficult challenge to meet. I like your crop and the photo is very clear.

interesting, unique...i probably would have cropped in on it a little closer to get rid of the weeds...the log has interesting visual appeal...i like the texture and contrast but the weeds bug me...plus i think if you came in closer, there would be more emphasis placed on the "4".

i think i would have cropped in closer, and maybe taken the photo from a lower angle (exchange the free space below for more above)

Oh, I'm jealous! I was looking all over for a shot like this, to no avail. You've found a perfect one! Great technical work and I love the composition.

Very well observed. The picture seems a bit dark on my monitor, but still. Good! (7)

The use of shadow against the whiteness of snow to create a number was
a great idea.
