The tracks you can see in the snow are from a mixture of rabbits and muntjac deer as far as I could tell. There was nowhere that they didn’t go in this field. As I wanted to keep the frame fairly simple for this shot, the tracks were perfect as a bit of foreground interest, but are not so over the top that they distract from the rest of the scene.
It took a little bit of Photoshop work to bring the snow back to its white colour. As is usually the case with snow, it was distinctly blue thanks to reflecting the colour of the sky. I didn’t totally take all the blue out of it, as otherwise it might feel a bit blank, but left enough in so that there was still a feeling of depth.
