Duncan Rawlinson photographed this winter forest scene in the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. Fresh snow blankets the ground and clings to every branch, creating a high-contrast monochrome composition. Dark tree trunks rise from a floor of snow-covered rocks and fallen timber, their bark standing out against the white coating. The mix of deciduous and conifer branches forms overlapping depths that recede into soft focus. Muted gray tones dominate, punctuated by the deep blacks of exposed bark and stone. The frame captures the still density of a northeastern hardwood forest after a heavy snowfall, with no trails or structures visible.
