Looking Back.

Shooting while it is still sleet/snowing has some interesting

unexpected problems, but I am glad I got the image I had in mind after

this. Comments, critiques, hopefully all constructive welcomed as always.

Great atmosphere.

The bench looks like it needs a grandmother/grandfather on it in the summer...

I like the idea, but the overall image is flat. Highlights are blocked up, and there is not much depth in the shadows. I think cropping more off right side would have helped too.

Mike,

Very nice, simple and effective.

Thanks guys. I appreciate all your inputs!

Russ: Wow! The records show that this was the first comment you have made since Sept 29, 2004. Nice comeback!. More of the same will always be appreciated!

About the picture I agree with your points.I suppose I could re-process this in variety of different ways, regarding highlights and shadows, but it really was a dull overcast time with snow falling as I was shooting.

I suppose one could go on and 'find' lots of variations.... here's one I made earlier.. Please do have a look.
