Photographer gembarrett tells us about this wintry spring photo: I took this photograph yesterday (6th January 2010) in Godshill on the Isle of Wight (UK). After very heavy snowfall (a rare event on the Island) I walked around my local area to take some photos. I found this early daffodil growing alone on the bank next to the thatch cottages by Godshill Church. The bright yellow and green contrasted with the white of the snow surrounding it and I just had to take a photo of this lone daffodil braving the snow.

We think gembarrett uses the perfect term expression for this photograph: braving the snow. Here is a companion image, a closeup of the daffodil.
