Shadows on the snow part 2 Photo

Photographer’s Note

Continuing with the snowy theme apparent in my gallery recently this shot was taken in the park near my home (Nakajima Park in Sapporo) after a very heavy dumping of snow on New Year's Eve 2006. The snow seems to have gone for this season and I guess the cherry blossoms will be arriving soon.

Philip,
A really pleasing composition - more so than part one I think - and I'm delighted that you've not be tempted into B&W for this shot - as part of its charm is the contrast between the blue shadows and the thin black trunks.
Very nice.
Regards

The shadows are beautiful and the fine crystalized details in the snow is very welcome -- makes me feel very frosty, but in a warm cozy kinda way!?

I dont quite like the wheel tracks in the snow in the top-left -- really doesnt help the composition, but then again it doesnt hurt it either; but still, I think the photo would have been even stronger without them. But its not a big deal as the photo is quite nice regardless.

regards,
steve
