First days of spring 2004.

First days of spring 2004. Shot taken at noon time on march 23th,

during a beautiful snow shower with very large snow flakes and no wind.

Brrrrrrrr...what a cold start to spring!

Tell me about it...I was walking around when it hit Montreal.

Snow is extremely difficult to work with and I think you did a nice job.

You did an excellent job, Nice dark background to emphasize these wonderful snow flakes.

Nice capture!

Brrr....very good shot in winter!!!

Very good photo Gaetan. I like it.

Hong Kong never gets snowing. Your picture puts me as if under the snow shower. I feel the cold indeed :D

Spring? How about Vancouver? Will it be this cold too? Wow! Talk about shooting in all conditions. Well captured Gaetan.

Alec, in Vancouver the snow comes down in smaller liquid form ;-) Gaetan, this is a fine shot, it catches the moment so well that I'm gald I don't have to be there. The crop enhances the 'feel' of trudging a long distance in snow. Very good.

Gaetan, I love this photograph with the big snow flakes. Boy, do I miss the snow. I wish I could run out there and catch the snow flakes on my tongue.

GREAT EXPOSURE!

It is so warm and Spring like here G.

 

This really makes me happy I am in the south!

 

Wonder if the coat tinted red would make the shot even more interesting?... She would have been like a cardinal against the snow...Just an idea.

Superbe ! Un simple habit de neige et ça aurait été : A 5/7 ... car des manteaux comme celui-ci ne courent pas les rues. Quelle chance : je suis jalouse !

On dirait une peinture de J-P Lemieux. Superbe!

Thank you all for your nice comments.

Some details about this photo : Shot taken on 3/23/2004 at 1:11 PM; Exposure time : 1/711 second; F number : 9.2; ISO : 100; White Balance : auto; Metering mode : Spot.

Very pleasing composition and great exposure that shows detail in ground covered snow.

Cold... and beautiful!

I see giant snowballs falling from the sky. It almost looks dangerous to walk. One large snowball just above and another falling just behind the person walking--several others rabdomly scattered about the frame.

 

I think placing the person exiting the frame fits with this feeling--get out of the snowstorm as quickly as possible, but at the same time it shows there is no escaping the storm.

does not look like spring yet..!!*ggg*

you have captured the snow well!
