Just messing around with 85mm f/1.8 and flash outdoors. Both shots taken within 15 minutes of each other.

In need of a dose of ARIA.
In need of a ticket to Neo-Venezia.

I like the first - the contrast between the front and back pots works well with the snow - and I am jealous of your snow!
As for the second -- tricky, it seems to have two focuses of the image - the chain and the bud -- I would say that a greater depth of field or focusing more on one (I say the bud) would have possibly worked a little better

The picture of the pots and snow interests me more than your second. The tree in the background, along with the snow, looks as if it were painted in almost--which I really like.
What I'd like to know is how you managed a blurry foreground, a midground in focus, and an out of focus background as well?
it's the so-called Depth of field. Good DoF can be achieved only with SLR cameras.
And, nice job with the first one
I agree with you both that the photo with the bud is less interesting and the composition is a bit flaky, just for some reason I really dig the colours there.
@overwatch: I'll try to experiment more with the DoF when it's sunny outside again.
@Leorina: the key is flash (and pretty fast shutter speed). It brings out the out-of-focus snowflakes really well and by lighting up the pots it allowed me to make it all much brighter, tho I had to remove the reflection in photoshop. I'm attaching the same shot with natural light only. Edit: that is all assuming you have a relatively long, fast lens.

This'll probably sound odd, but I'm actually feeling a chill from the original photo.
