Thanks Mike, Jill, Deb, and Helen for commenting. I've always enjoyed shadows and the way they change throughout the day. Since the length of a shadow cast on the ground is proportional to the cotangent of the sun's elevation angle, less (angle) is more (shadow) :-)

Lovely capture, with the delicate branches on the snow.

Great image, bottles! Complex AND simple captured in one photograph. I really like the definition of the shadow.---deb

Bottles, beautiful shadows in varying shades captured on the crisp snow. Unusual beauty.

Bottles, I love how you used the snow as a plain canvas to "paint" the tree on. Nice composition, lighting, and contrast. Good idea for a simple composition...and a nice photo! MFC
