Christal, hi!  This has a nice composition and perspective.  I like that we are not looking across the bridge (so trite!), but from another perspective with a focal point that looks like a fountain??? The stark trees and snow with dabs of orange leaves and watery center just speaks to so many walks I've been on and enjoyed so much.  There is a lot of feeling here.  I love the mood!

Beautiful shot.

Hi Christal,

  Beautiful winter scene with wonderful composition & controlled lighting.  Take care, Patsy

Very nice winter scene, with the little bridge. 

I too like the perspective and composition of this Christal. A stark time of year, but I think you made the most of it.

BR,  Holger

Gorgeous shot in a beautiful setting. The only "criticism" I have is about your timing. I thought I finally got rid of a miserable long winter and you post a photo full of snow! BURR!

Seriously, an excellent shot!

Superbly real.  The only thing I need to feel like I'm there is a temperature below our current 75dF.  Very well done... Mike

I too like the composition, the line formed by the bridge leads the eye right to the fountain.  I'm surprised that the fountain has been turned on so early in the year, especially after that bitterly cold February.  Many of our local communities have experienced frozen water mains in spite of being installed at least 6 feet deep.  I think Al Gore's got it backward.  We've been experiencing a cooling trend, not a warming one.  Would be an interesting project for you to go back here to get shots in the other three seasons.  Waiting....................!  :-)  Best, Len.
