I didn't use a filter on this one. Instead, I converted it to black and white, then lowered the opacity so a hint of the color of the evergreen showed through. Then I played around with contast and levels and such to try to bring out the delicate, lacy nature of the snow.

  2. I think you achieved what you were trying too, the snow doesn't look so "blown out"! Great edit!

  4. Finally got the 365ers blogroll updated and now I'm visiting. Great photos. I love the filters.

    Nice lacy look, though I agree with you. I've had enough snow to last a lifetime, and there's much more to come in the next couple of months.
