The scene was so cluttered, it took me ages to get the pic I wanted (only a little cropping in Photoshop necessary). Submitted it to the Lundy Island Calendar Competition 2012, and it was accepted as one of the smaller side images.

Es ist ein herrlicher Tag heute - kalt und sonnig. Nach dem Brötchenholen machte ich einen kleinen Umweg zum Krupundersee, um den ersten Frost aufs Bild zu bannen. It's a lovely day today - cold and sunny. After buying some bread rolls for breakfast I took a little detour to Lake Krupunder thinking of some "frosty" images to capture - and here they are.

Ich fand dieses Motiv auf einem toten Baumstumpf in einem Wald in der Nähe. Es gibt auch eine Version in Farbe (Link s. u.). Ich freue mich über Kommentare, welche Version euch besser gefällt. Die Aufnahme wurde mit Silver efex pro bearbeitet, ich wählte "überbelichtet", was das "Auge" am besten hervortreten ließ, und justierte dann Kontrast und Struktur. Im Nachhinein fällt mir ein: "Holzauge, sei wachsam!" wäre auch ein guter Titel gewesen. Found this on a dead tree stump in the woods near my home. There's a colour version as well. www.flickr.com/photos/barefoot-images/6442802493/in/pool-... Please leave a comment which one you like better. This image was created with the help of silver efex pro, overexposed mode (the best one for the "eye") and some fiddling with contrast and structure.
