Trees, benches & snow; Cleveland Art Museum Gardens

Love the top 3rd of this shot. Actually the whole thing is pulled off well.

I like the way that the trees appear to be inverted with their roots in the air, and the very graphic ink on paper abstract look.

Nicholas,

 

I like this one, it has a timeless quality about it.

The Cleveland Mueseum of Art has since cut down all the trees and replaced them with little saplings. The scene should be available again in fifty years -- but by then the benches will be gone...

Sad when you go back to do another version and the whole thing has been destroyed . . . happened to me a couple times this past year.

Nicely done, Nicholas. Looks like ink. Excellent exposure and printing. I like the contrast, but print it out with a real low contrast and see what it looks like. You may like it. The bottom left part is "unclean" and detracts from the rest of the picture.

Comments appreciated.

I agree, the top third is what moves this from a good shot in the snow to a great one.
