I keep talking about the “typical gray Michigan winter day” phenomenon and thought I would try to capture its essence for today’s iPhone 365 Project post. It wasn’t hard finding a gray sky, it was everywhere. The challenge was finding suitable surroundings to make the plain gray sky at least somewhat artistic.
I decided the best way to showcase “gray” was to go with an elongated vertical crop. I used a couple of common items (i.e. a tree and foot bridge) to anchor the image at the bottom and then let the sky do the rest.
What do you think? How does the image make you feel?

I like this crop a lot. The size of the sky makes me think about how “small” we really are.
I really like crops that are appropriate for the image; however, it makes it really hard to find frames.
Excellent choice of crop and letting the expansive sky be the focus. I like the grounding bridge and bare tree. This makes our gray days look simply beautiful.
I love the soft focus feeling to the image, it gives it the dreamy effect, maybe of fog in the winter morning?
