Leaping through the snow! I cropped this one and adjusted the tone curve a little, to reveal a little more texture in the snow. Helpful tip: overexpose snow. If there's anything in your camera that says "EV +/-", set that baby to at least +2/3. Play around with it, for some subjects you could probably get away with +2. (remember to set it back to normal after!) The more snow in the frame, the more you should bump up the exposure, but I wouldn't go much higher than +2. If you're not sure, chimp the histogram.
