snow is certainly majestic especially in this scene--nice leading lines which takes the viewer into the scene---although it is too bad that there was not a contrasting color in the background to hold the viewers eye in the scene---however, it is still a nice photo. #400574

Very nice. #2479824

Ugur Erkmen February 28, 2006

Very good angle,contrasting people or any subject would be perfect.It is still avery good picture. #2479867

John Connolly February 28, 2006

Superb image Goshka, and I like your composition. #2479876

Carla Metzler February 28, 2006

Contrasting subjects are nice, but not always needed in my opinion. I personally like the stillness of this image, and the composition. I find it quite beautiful, Goshka. I guess that is why there are so many different kinds of art, we all have different likes and dislikes. #2479893

Terry L. Ellis February 28, 2006

Looks like you almost got there first Goshka! What a wonderful scene! I don't know if there are many paths that look just like this in Central Park but I have seen this scene quite often on BP. This is my favourite version without all the red banners or whatever they were. Oh I liked them too but this one is the best! #2480637

This pespective shot of trees dressed in snow leads me to a place of peace...I love the image, especially those interlaced branches.

Love the contrast between the snow and textures of those majestic trees, as well as the lighting, Goshka!! Extraordinary winter scene that could have easily been used for the Chronicles of Narnia :-)!! Stunning composition!!
Much Aloha,

Goshka G. March 07, 2006

Thank you all so much for all these comments!! I truly appreciate all the feedback!! I really wish, Gerald, that there was some point in there to focus interest - but there wasn't, and the place was fenced off anyway, so I had to make do with what I had.

I haven't seen The Chronicles of Narnia yet - but your comments will probably make me, you guys!;-) #2508442

Gerald Kraus March 08, 2006

Your photo is wonderful and I know that we cannot control a beautiful scene. I only give honest opinions and provide suggestions where I think it will help or make the picture stronger. You received great comments but even though Anita H. beat me up a little---I still will stick to my guns---I challenge the folks that commented on your photograph to critique some of the pictures in my gallery---I welcome all the help and suggestions--that is the only way to learn. And with that Keep Shooting. #2512098
