Merry Christmas Frosty (2011)

Merry Christmas Frosty! I had a desire to add to my 2011 Christmas images. I used my Nikon D3 and Nikon NIKKOR AF-S VR Macro 105mm f/2.8 lens. If you dial this lens in correctly it will produce outstanding images with a great depth of field. That being said, the original image seemed a tad-bit flat to me. So I used Adobe's Photoshop CS5 Bridge to quickly sharpen the edges and to strengthen the color saturation.

"Frosty the Snowman" is a popular song written by Walter "Jack" Rollins and Steve Nelson, and first recorded by Gene Autry and the Cass Country Boys in 1950. (Information Source: Wikipedia) My favorite version was sung by Burl Ives.
