Sujit Sudhi from Hyderabad, IndiaWhat a beautiful image. The contrast is fantastic. You broke the rules of composition by allowing the figure to walk out of the window, and yet have created a splendid image. 1 Mar 2008 6:59am @Sujit Sudhi: Wow, I love your comment Sujit, thanks so much :) Michael Skorulski from Cigel, SlovakiaThe environment looks inhospitable in this image. The composition, color and textures are superb, Lorraine. 1 Mar 2008 7:18am @Michael Skorulski: Thanks Michael, I always enjoy your comments ;) @Ilnoir: Un pas après l'autre...lol merci Ilnoir :) Richard_Irwin from Belper, United KingdomYou have a great eye, hitting the decisive moment accurately.

Wonderful composition, textures, etc. Nice shot, Lorraine! 1 Mar 2008 11:00am @Betty: Thanks a lot Betty, although I wonder what the photo woud have looked like it she were wearing either a white coat or a black one, might have made for some interesing contrast ;) Ron from Saint Louis, United StatesSuch an inhospitable backdrop, and, then something red braving the elements. Very evocative image, Lorraine! 1 Mar 2008 11:05am @Ron: Nicely put Ron, thanks :) @amarjit: I'm glad you enjoyedi amarjit, thanks :) yiannis krikis from thessaloniki, Greecethe red into the snow is great - nice framing 1 Mar 2008 12:46pm @yiannis krikis: I appreciate that Yiannis, thanks :) Ina from Krugersdorp, South AfricaIt truly is amazing to see Canada through your eyes.

Well done! 1 Mar 2008 12:50pm @Ina: What a lovely compliment, thanks a lot Ina :) Barbara from Florida, United StatesNicely composed with the tree and the person in red.

Did it ever stop were you were? lol @Ana Lúcia: Thanks very much Ana L. :) Photographs by M.E. from Encino, United Statesminimal, effective, well - composed! 1 Mar 2008 1:27pm @Photographs by M.E.: Nicely put, thanks a lot M.E. :) @Saeed: Thanks a lot Saeed :) MJ from Delaware, United Statescold and harsh, but out for a walk.... nice capture. 1 Mar 2008 1:38pm @MJ: Gotta do what you gotta do lol Thanks so much MJ ;) Scotfot from Kabul, AfghanistanGreat picture, it looks like business as usual despite Gatineau being slowly engulfed by an ice flow. Lets hope the Internet keeps working so you can keep sending these magnificent images! 1 Mar 2008 1:39pm @Scotfot: You're not kidding Bob, it's very, very unusual even for us, and thanks very much ;) @Porcsin: Carry on indeed, I like that, I wish I had named it Carry On...;) @shahab: Thanks so much Shahab :) GJC from Kyoto, JapanGosh -- yesterday and today are so good. Really strong compositions. The red is such a good sight amidst that white. Very well seen. 1 Mar 2008 2:24pm @GJC: I appreciate that very much GJC, thans a lot :) Japanalia from Yokohama, JapanNice study against the snow...it breaks the white monotony...and moreover it's frozen movement!The background is fabulous, all those boulders and the naked tree.....Very good composition! 1 Mar 2008 2:29pm @Japanalia: And so very nicely put, thanks always Gabriela :) @clarence: It is and thank you so much for visiting :) Daroru from Amagasaki, JapanHave you played with the colour here Lorraine? Right side looks desaturated, and there's a slight pinky glow to the snow behind the figure in red... nicely done... 1 Mar 2008 3:25pm @Daroru: Yes indeed I have Daroru, I used focal b&w, and option on Picasa, which allows you to turn a photo in b&w but keep whatever portion you chose in its original colour, thanks a lot :) tyan from Singapore, Singaporeat first i was thinking to myself-before i saw the pic-finally,some red roses or sth?Then,all is still white and the red comes from the lady's coat,you do know how to keep one in suspense and add twist to your pictures,dear! 1 Mar 2008 3:52pm @tyan: oooo I like that lol Thanks a lot sweetie ;) @«miguel.peixeiro»: Hey thanks Miguel, I was very lucky ;) Janice Thomson from Courtenay BC, CanadaThe red adds such an effective splash of color to this photo mon amie - love it. 1 Mar 2008 4:11pm @Janice Thomson: Thanks so much Janice, I like her coat lol :) Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United StatesPerfectly balanced capture, Lorraine - is this an 'out of the car window' shot? 1 Mar 2008 4:51pm @Judy: Never can fool you Judy, not only is it out of the car window, but also while I was driving, there was no one behind me and the traffic was stopped at a red light, so I took a chance and sneaked in a shot without looking through the lense, so my sense of direction for once, was right on. I call it a Lucky Shot ;) kurt from Austriathe perfect moment - the red makes it... very well done, lorraine. 1 Mar 2008 5:36pm @kurt: I appreciate that Kurt, thanks so much :) @kostas: Thanks a lot Kostas :) Michael Rawluk from Prince George, CanadaGorgeous. The red sure pops out of the shot. 1 Mar 2008 8:27pm @Michael Rawluk: Thanks a lot Michael, usually does in this blanket of snow my town has become ;) @Soco: thanks a lot Soco :) @standley: Elle est seule sur cette route froide, merci beaucoup Richard :) @laughingwolf: We have to be, don't we Wolf :) Viewfinder from Bradenton, United StatesYou are an amazing chronicler of winter scenery. This red-coated one marching with determination across the backdrop of that piled up snow is a fantastic statement on how we can survive in any clime. 1 Mar 2008 11:28pm @Viewfinder: Wow, what a lovely compliment and nicely put too, believe me when I say this was a lucky shot ;) taken in the car while driving, not looking at the lense and hoping that for once my sense of direction was accurate lol JoeB from Brampton, CanadaGreat winter portrait, properly dressed we can go anywhere. 2 Mar 2008 1:00am @JoeB: Very true JoeB, We Are Canadians...although right now being a Californian sounds pretty cool ;) @Forouz: Forouz, how lovely to see you, and yes it's COLD, hon' lol Damon Schreiber from Toronto, CanadaGreat composition. Post processing note, though - a touch over-sharpened - for me at least. 2 Mar 2008 3:52am @Damon Schreiber: Yes it is Damon, but take my word for it, it had to...I took this blindly, that is driving, in traffic, shooting without looking and hoping my direction was right on for just ONCE (it usually isn't) lol So it's so much better than I expected, over-sharpened and all ;) @laughingwolf: Happy to say I've never heard that word before lol HorseRotorVator from Newton, United StatesBy the looks of your pictures I thought that you were from the most northern part of Canada. I went to google maps and looked up where Gatineau is and it's not too far into no mans land. Beautiful place. You are lucky. :) 3 Mar 2008 6:40pm @HorseRotorVator: Thanks HRV, I am very lucky, I love that we have four seasons and I wouldn't exchange that for anything...although this winter is a little bit overpowering :) |
