Alex_ice & snow

I took this photo today when I was out for a little while taking photos of the wintery weather. I took over thirty photos and thought this was among the best photo I took of the photo shoot. I like this photo for a number of reasons. First, I like the texture of the mossy stone walkway because you can see all of the grainy-like moss almost pretty clearly and it has good detail. I like the variety of different colors the moss has on the stones because it makes this photo interesting to look at. I also like how my photo turned out to have a shallow depth of field because it narrows down your main focus attention to the photo. I also like how you can see the little tiny details of the miniature snow crystals which have good reflections of light fragments. I also like how the snow mixes in with the yellowish brownish moss because it adds more variety to the photo. I think the light in this photo is neutral and that its not too dark and not too bright so the colors are well toned. I also like how the focal range is more in the middle than in the very front of the photo frame. I also like how the snow and ice particles are spread in this photo because it makes the layout of this photo interesting to look at and the perspective of the photo is smooth.  I also like how I positioned the photo at a very crouched and low angle looking low and up a little bit because it changes the perspective of the photo. I think the glow of the ice crystals and the moss make this photo really interesting to look at combined. I think if the photo had a deeper depth of field the photo wouldn't be as interesting to look at and you wouldn't see the neat textures and your focus wouldn't draw you far into the photo. The only thing I wish I could have changed in this photo would have been to move the blue dot in the front bottom corner of the photo because it makes the photo just slightly a tiny bit distracting to the focus of the photo. I took this photo on my Nikon D3200 with natural lighting, without flash, using auto focus adjustments, and using the live view mode on my camera to position the framing of the photo without losing my framing height at a low angle by looking through the tiny camera view window.
