Lovely composition, Lorraine. The lamp and person are somehow joined here. The colors are gentle. Excellent.

Beautiful colors; I love that white globe behind the tree. And the person in the red coat is the eye-catching addition.
4 Mar 2008 1:24pm
@Viewfinder: Thanks a lot VF, I find that there are a lot of red coats this winter, possibly to cut through the white world we seem to be in this year lol
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
Another winner. Winter may be now tiresome to you, but I think we're enjoying your winter very much, thank you! The compositional balance is so clever and even a little winsome, an aspect I like a good deal.

@GJC: Wow what a lovely comment and compliment, warms me up lol thanks a lot GJC :)
Ron from Saint Louis, United States
Once again, Lorraine, you've captured a beautiful scene! The blue/gray background suggests that there's no end to this winter scene.

@Ron: Thanks a lot Ron, I'll go so far as saying I don't think there's an end to THIS winter :)
@Hoopand: lol Thanks a lot Hoopand :)
Daroru from Amagasaki, Japan
