Laurent from Lyon, France

c'est beau. C'est calme.
J'aime beaucoup la composition qui nous emmène tout droit vers la cabane sur laquelle brille une belle lumière.
Dommage juste que la lune soit derrière une branche sinon elle eu été vraiment parfaite

29 Feb 2008 7:09am

@Laurent: Ouais, tu as raison, après l'avoir vu sur écran, j'aurais préféré l'avoir prise autrement, mais voilà, d'un autre coté peut-être que quelque chose d'autre aurait changé! Merci beaucoup Laurent ;)

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

That little yellow ice fishing shack out there just seems so lonely. Are the black dots behind it people escaping its confines? Great shot Lorraine.
