Very neat effect, it looks like snow. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2015.

I don't know what's going on here, but I love it. Ate you alive? Mosquitoes? I love the low depth of field look here and the vignette, though I wouldn't make it so uniformly vignetted along the top if it were mine. A more organic approach would look a bit better, to me! Love the backlight and the orbs, whatever they are! Wishing that the Saguaro to the far left had just a bit more breathing room, but otherwise like the composition a lot. Really creative image.

Very nice desert shot. Personally I'm not a fan of the heavy vignette but the shot itself is excellent. I especially like the way the light falls on the little peak in the background.

Thanks All,
The 'orbs' are gnats or flies... We don't have snow in Phoenix much so I thought they would replace a snowflake! :) I used vignette for wording on our Christmas card; otherwise the words would be washed out. I tried to go the left more but a huge gnarly tree would get in the way. And a very Merry Christmas to you all!

Really like the back lighting and of course the buggy snow.
Have a Merry Christmas too.
