Picnic

Posted by Michael Rawluk (Williams Lake, BC, Canada) on 3 November 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

The bench looks lonely; the landscape empty of people.

I appreciate your comments and constructive criticism.

Haven't seen snow like that here in the southern USA in quite a while. Well, any snow for that matter. Fantastic image.

Very cool shot Michael (literally!). I hope this is all the snow that I see this year - I'm not very fond of it, except on Christmas.

You've really captured the dead of winter. I can feel the silence all around you. And the composition is just perfect.

Love the balance in this beautiful black and white scene. The solidness of the table and benches makes a nice counterbalance to the lightness of the trees.

Its not just the great composition and contrasts but the pureness of the scene that is beautiful - well done!

No picnic here <g>. BRRRRR! Lovely shot, even if I can feel the cold. Seriously, the focal point of the table with the wintry trees in background, all on the white blanket of snow...just beautiful.
