marianne from Toulouse, from France, France
Mais c'est le pôle Nord !
on dirait que cette silhouette est menacée par une vague de neige et de brouillard qui va l'envelopper ...
j'aime la couleur de la neige, elle est d'un blanc particulier, qui donne envie de marcher pieds nus ...
une photo vraiment de toute beauté, le bleu donne une impression de très grand froid ...

@marianne: Pieds nus...t'as jamais visite le Canada Hein? lol je t'assure que ton petit pieds tendre ne resterais pas nu longtemps ;) merci beaucoup ma chouette!

Francesc B. from région parisienne, France
C'est presque inquiétant... une image qui fait froid dans le dos, au sens propre comme au figuré... j'aime bien la silhouette et cette composition sombre diagonale au premier plan.
Ta photo a un bon impact visuel avec tous ses contrastes.
29 Nov 2008 10:51pm
@Francesc B.: J'aime beaucoup ton commentaire, merci beaucoup Franc :)
Pixim from Nice, France
Une photo de toute beauté, je ne suis pas devant mon écran, mais les tons des couleurs sont exceptionnels. La composition est travaillée, avec des plans en cascade qui amènent à chaque fois de nouvelles sensations. Une photo avec une histoire et qui réveille en nous les vécus les plus glaciaux Bravo ;)
29 Nov 2008 11:01pm
@Pixim: Wow, c'est de la poésie ça, merci beaucoup Eric. Une question, tu as un 3e oeil?celui qui te permets de voir cette photo tout en étant loin de ton écran ?
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
A lonely cold looking place, and very well captured in this shot. I like the angle of the bank that the man will follow.
30 Nov 2008 1:33am
@Observing: Thanks Mike, I was thankfully in the car and away from that cold, cold wind ;) lol
akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
Il y a pas mal de glace sur l'eau et il doit faire froid. Belle lumiere et silhouette.
30 Nov 2008 2:06am
@akarui: Oui Olivier il faisait très froid, un vent qui te rends tortue ;) Merci beaucoup!
Bookfool from Vicksburg, United States
It does look cold; he's all bundled up! Wonderful shot, Lorraine. I love the angle of the shoreline and the placement of that lone figure.
30 Nov 2008 2:43am
@Bookfool: Thanks a lot Book, I appreciate it :)
@Fliss: and you are 100% accurate in your forecast Fliss ;)

30 Nov 2008 3:29am
@vu@granby - Alain Berger: Merci beaucoup Alain, c'est très gentil..mais ce sommes-nous pas tous sous 'recent photography'? sinon on devrait tous l'être en réalité, parce tous mes visiteurs sont de superbes photographes ;)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

Pixim from Nice, France
Salut lorraine, excuse-moi, je voulais dire "pas devant mon écran personnel", mais le fait d'être à l'extérieur, devant un écran de portable non calibré. Bon, maintenant, je trouve les couleurs encore plus froides, plus dures, je te remercie alors du froid qui me glace jusqu'aux os. Tiens, je vais boire un apéritif, ça me réchauffera ;)
30 Nov 2008 6:34pm
@Pixim: LOL Pixim, jamais personne ne m'a remercié de les avoir glaçés jusqu'aux os :) merci beaucoup!
