Wintry Solitude

I would like to hear what you have to say -- be it good or bad. Thanks,

The composition of the photo is interesting. From the posted image, it is difficult to evaluate the focus.

thanks for your comment. Honestly, focus is not the best possible. It was snowing a little bit and took this picture without setting up the tripod in low light. If you look at the picture in the large size it looks OK and you can see the details of the branches. I hope that helps. I am glad you find the composition interesting.

I think if you cropped the water out and extended the background to infinity, it would give more feeling of isolation. That's assuming of course that the background continues on in a field of snow!

Thanks for your comment. I agree with you that it would have been more intersting to extend the background. However, the background had a road and I din't think that would be very interesting. So I cropped it out.

You were right. I went back again and studied the larger image and it is better. Stark photos do not always lend themselves well to reduced size JPEG images on computer monitors.
