Thanks Chris, juxtaposition is not the best shot but I really struggled with that to be honest, we didn't get much snow around here and that was about the extent of it!
And thanks Alan, I will have a go at cloning out the marks, and I think the juxt works better between buds and flowers but it was meant to be the snow! Tough mudder does like slightly scary, but seems like fun to me! Although that's why I haven't had the camera out much recently, I don't dare do it less than 100% prepared!
