Well, technically it's not the word of the day; it's the theme of the week. Texture. There's a big trend right now of adding texture to photos either via different filters or by merging photos in Photoshop. I plan to play with that later this week. (Like most trends, I'm no early adopter.)
In truth, I looked at a tutorial today and actually did add some texture to a couple of pictures, but as I was playing around, I noticed that a lot of the shots I've taken in the past few days already have some good texture all their own. In the above, it's in the clouds.Here, you can see the windswept ripples in the snow.
And the choppy ice and snow here.
Here, you can sense the clapboard texture of this old barn. It's not as dramatic as it would be if this were a closeup shot, but I didn't feel like tromping all the way through that field in knee-deep snow. Sorry.
And this is my favorite...the marble on the angel's face, with her cape of snow.

The two last ones are my faves! love old barns!
You are absolutely right about natural textures.. Some photo's like yours just don't need the addition... Love he snow angel
Great winter textures! Even the smooth snow is a texture and I'm glad you didn't trudge through it and mess it up. ;)
I like the angel shot best too!
Love old barns. The last 2 shots are my favs of these but they are all great.
These textures you found are great! I love the barn...you'll totally have to get closer to it when there isn't so much snow.
That snow in your second shot is sooo realistic looking, i can feel the brrrrrr.
Those are great natural textures.
Very nice captures!
Love the snow ripple shot...great texture! tfs
I really like all of them but love the last two. So many great textures. ~Jackie
I love the last two!
oh yeah, lots of natural texture in these. I love the windswept snow. so much to see in that simple shot.
I never tire of snow photos...we never see it here in Texas. I love the statue shot!
Love the look of the ripples in the snow. I can just hear my feet crunching on it! And that poor angel looks so cold. BRRRRRR!
The last one is my favorite, too! The angel looks so old and weathered.
i could not agree with you more you do have some awsome textures in all of these great photos
LOVE the angel shot!!! It's beautiful!
I just love the one of the barn and the statue. Poetic.
Great texture finds, Amy. That poor angel looks miserable.
Love, love, love these scenes. I like to enhance texture by tweaking the contrast.
POTD definately makes me feel COLD these days! Great pictures, beautiful angel!
