An unexpected snowstorm on May 13, 2008 caught many bikes left exposed to the elements. I discovered this poor bike looking exhausted and defeated by the storm.... reclining on the snow covered grass near the bike rack. Just looked like a "tired" bike to me. While the snow may slow down springtime activities temporarily, the snow melts quickly this time of year in the mountains.

Kind of a neat look, but it still strikes me as a snapshot. Some color tweaks would help to accentuate the texture of the snow on the bike, giving it a little more visual oomph.

This just looks like a quick shot to me without much planning. Unless you put the bike down, waited for it to snow and then took the shot... but all the white and grey colour doesn't really do it for me.
