First days of spring (2).

First days of spring (2). Shot taken at noon time on march 23th,

2004 during a beautiful snow shower with very large snow flake and

no wind.

I like the geometry of this one.

Nice composition and beautiful tones Gaetan

Scores high for composition, perspective, grays at the second plane.

Superb composition and light. It relaxed me the moment I saw it.

...another signature, Gaetan-isque image, but it looks faintly familiar. May be perhaps other than being a mirror-image version, it is virtually identical to your previous, "Jardin Jeanne d'Arc in Quebec city (DSCN0212)," still very tasty. Thumbs up again.

It gives a desire to be there, very nice composition Gaetan. Pnina

Perfect geometry and composiotion. I like.

The one I prefer so far. The balance is perfect, the almost B&W feeling is adding drama, and the snowflakes are doing the rest! Shows the beauty of snow!

 

Je présume qu'il faut vivre ces situations pour pouvoir apprécier cette photo à sa juste valeur. Ça me rappelle des souvenirs d'enfance, à courir dehors en essayant d'avaler le plus de flocons possible... Aujourd'hui, à 30 ans, moi et ma copine de ratons encore jamais une occasion d'aller se promener lorsque ce type de chute de neige se produit... Peut-être un feeling que les autres venant des pays plus tempérés ne pourront pas ressentir... Bravo! C'est ma préférée! J'espère que les autres l'apprécieront aussi!

Gaetan, tres magnifique! (Please excuse the poor French; I'm going on what I learned in high school!) Lovely capture with great symmetry.

superb perspective!!!

and nice with that snowing..;-)

Wilson,

This is not a mirror-image version to my previous "Jardin Jeanne d'Arc in Quebec city (DSCN0212),". The first image show the south side of this park with ice deposited by fog. The present photo show an unusual snow shower and I wanted to get the more natural capture in the heart of Quebec city. So I shot the north side, with those majestuous old trees. They offer an excellent scene to capture the beauty of this phenomena and you can see that there is still a lot of snow to melt.

Thank you all for your nice comments. Gilbert, it is true that you have to see those kind of snow shower to really appreciate it.

awesome. you were in the perfect place at the perfect time... and ready to shoot.

A very carefully composed photo, a great harmony of lines. Impressing well looking B&W coming out of a digital camera. Like it a lot

Wonderfully composed, love the snowfall!

Beautiful shot :-)

Wonderful aspect and feel Gaetan

Great!Absoluutselt perfektne!

I've lived in cold country. Spring??? Yes, a terrible and wonderful season. A great capture. Bravo!

I write this comment on friday April 16th. There is still a little bit of snow here. I expect that it will be all melted in one week. In Quebec city the normal snow precipitation for april is 6 inches (15cm). It is said that Quebec city is the snow capital of the world. With a population of more than 500,000 persons I think that this affirmation for a city of this size is true.

Very good composition. I lile the straight lines of lamps and trees

Outstanding composition and tonal range. The first day of spring and nobody out on the street...how peaceful can you get. Regards, Doug.
