An adventurous trek today led me to this.

A very interesting and effective composition, Dolores. It looks as if your trek really was pretty adventurous! All that barbed wire looks scary! #18369

Carol Sherman May 26, 2019

Fabulous angle and love the simplicity. Very moody and forlorn looking Dolores. #40260

Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019

Wonderful! #40263

Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019

Greetings Gerda! Yes, I did enjoy my outing yesterday...though I ended up being so entrenched in a network of back roads that I feared if I got stuck, I'd be in trouble. Sometimes I overestimate my vehicle. The barb wire is electrified. I appreciate that you "stopped by" to support and encourage, Gerda. THANK YOU!

Good Morning, Carol!! Oh, those qualities were what I was aiming for! Thank you for "telling" me that! Very much appreciated!

Hi Damian!! And many thanks to you for commenting also. Always a pleasure!!

Have a good day everyone! TGIF! #40306

Sharon E. Lowe level-addict May 26, 2019

Delores - wonderful image and great choice to do it in B&W! Glad you didn't get electrified and managed to find you way home! #40319

Carolyn M. Fletcher level-classic May 26, 2019

I'm so jealous of your snow, I can't stand it!! #40346

Lem Metro May 26, 2019

Brilliant! Perfect for B&W. Everything is right about this photo. #40367

Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019

Good morning, Sharon! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy morning to comment! I value your comments immensely. Many thanks! I'm glad I didn't get electrified too! I've finally asked a farmer about the voltage on one of those wires and they say they wouldn't do any damage to humans but they still frighten me!

Carolyn...well, girlfriend...I'm so jealous of backyard sunsets, I can't stand it either! So there! Don't fret...you'll be clobbered before you know it. Trouble is getting out in it is very challenging so even if you have tons, it's finding a way to get out in it. I really take alot of risks, I think.

Hi Lem!! Oh..your compliment on this image made me feel like Edsel Adams for a brief moment! Thank you sooo much for the gift of your kind compliment. I value your time and comment IMMENSELY! Happy day! #40371

Jeff Galbraith May 26, 2019

Hi Delores,
This is what I call stark beauty. I wouldn't be at all suprised to see this shot amoung next month's winners. #40375

Wolfgang Dolak May 26, 2019

Very "strong", Dolores - you'll find it among finalists!

Lem Metro May 26, 2019

Funny Dolores, but I was thinking how Ansel Adams like the photo is when I submitted my original comment. That is pretty high praise! #40446

Cathy M. Gromball May 26, 2019

Wonderful shot, Dolores! Excellent composition, mood, perspective and use of b&w!

Cathy :) #40457

Hi Birdie!! Wow..AND THANK YOU for your confidence in this image also! So nice of you to comment. Happy shooting !

Hi Lem...You're kidding! I can't even begin to compare to him but a fleeting moment was savored while I read your comment! Yes...it definitely is high praise! Thank you!

Hi Cathy! Your fingers must be numb by now! Thank you so much for all the commenting on ALL my images this month! Go rest your fingers now! THANK YOU!

Greetings Clifton!! Wow...that is high praise and I value it immensely! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to compliment my image! Means lots! Happy day! #40564

Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019

Lem...I was rolling when I read my "Edsel" Adams comment!! "Edsel"? HA! I must have been thinking about the Ford Edsel! Yes, Ansel is definitely the correct name! Big oops! #40567

Ray Charles May 26, 2019

Excellent work Dolores.

Gary H. Minish level-classic May 26, 2019

What an eye! Excellent composition and the sharp contrast is great! Excellent photo, Dolores! #41090

Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019

Hi Gary!! Thanks so much! (Your eye is no slouch either!) I'm quite pleased this appeals to you! Every road I took that day had a sign that said, "Pass at your own risk. No winter maintenance" and that's how the title came about!Happy day! #41198

Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019

Congrats Delores!! #55303

May 26, 2019

Simple composition, and really effective. I really like this image. One thing I might have tried was to get some detail in the fence posts, but this photo is still very effective, and is more abstract for the loss of detail in the dark areas. Well done. #55339

Gerda Grice level-classic May 26, 2019

Simple and beautiful! Congratulations on your finalist placing with this shot, Dolores. #55541

Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019

Cees...Many thanks for yet another congratulations!! How thoughtful and generous of you!!

HI again, Carol!! Thanks so much for commenting a 2nd time on this shot! Another e-hug goes out to you!

Birdie...you had confidence in this image and you were right...THANK YOU SO MUCH...for being right and for your congratulatory comment!

Hi again, Sharon!! Thank you TONS!! And again, congrats to you too!

Bob...I appreciate your comment immensely! Thank you for sharing your helpful and kind suggestion. You made a good point about details in the fenceposts.
If I had been closer to the first fence post (no way could I have captured detail in the second one), details would have recorded, considering that white snow reflects light and it was even that day.... I think I was too far away. I think use of the flash would have washed out the foreground (it's happened before with snow)...but I will try it next time to see what happens!!
I appreciate that you care enough about my success to extend helpful suggestions. Thank you!!

Gerda...Many thanks for your thoughtfulness and generosity once more! Once again, I am touched by your kindness. Thank you so much! #55853

Faye White May 26, 2019
