marianne from Toulouse, from France, France
non seulement la photo est magique, la lumière extraordinaire, mais il fallait y penser, à photographier ce grillage qui s'effondre ...
j'imagine un ours blanc, un animal sauvage qui passe au travers pour venir se réchauffer près des maisons à la cheminée fumante ...
tes photos d'hiver sont un rêve, dans lequel chacun peut créer son propre conte ... l'imagination va bon train, merci pour ce cadeau Lorraine, et surtout, ne repars jamais ....
des bisous bleutés !

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Hi Lorr, another lovely crisp shot, the old wire fence really makes a great division here.
(okay you couldn't find any grapes.... howabout a bunch of bananas,,,,)
Have a nice day Lorraine.

Rui from Leiria, Portugal
The light is awesome. The small reflexes in the snow look like small diamonds shinning. Wonderfully done Lorraine.

I love fence images and this one is wonderful with the sparkling snow and the snow drifts in the background! well done. do you walk around looking for pics to shoot or drive?? Looks too cold to walk :-)
14 Jan 2009 12:12pm
@Cheryl: Sometimes, but usually I just take my camera with me wherever I go, 'cause there's always something I see that I like ;) Not walking right now, I assure you !!!

@yiannis krikis: Thanks a lot Yiannis, I appreciate it :)
Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
C'est magnifique. The light is coming in beautifully. Most people would just walk past that fence but you had the good sense to stop and shoot.
14 Jan 2009 5:45pm
@Michael Rawluk: Thanks a lot Michael, the guy behind wasn't too thrilled, he honked. Twice lol
Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
An excellent image. I love everything about this. Light, tone, angle, detail, folds of the hillside - and a spot on exposure.
14 Jan 2009 6:06pm
@Stephen Phillips: Beautiful comment Stephen, thanks so much :)
Suzanne from Huntington Bch, CA, United States
Beautiful shot, Lorraine. Love the play of shadows. Nice to see you're getting a little sun.
14 Jan 2009 6:21pm
@Suzanne: Thanks a lot Suzanne....the sun, the light makes everythin better :)
Paco Díaz from Spain
I enjoy very much the light of these two last images.
You show the cold as less hard with this rosy shade.
I'll show you some summer shots in Mallorca, just for laughs :)
Delicious.
14 Jan 2009 6:57pm
@Paco Díaz: Thanks very much Paco, please do and I will look with great joy :)
dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa
What you have captured here is the promise of the warmer weather to come - the flimsy fence will and can not stop it coming! Super stuff!
14 Jan 2009 7:14pm
@dobbino: I like the way you put it Rob, thanks a lot :)
@Alun Lambert: Thanks a lot Alun, I appreciate it :)
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Sometimes I read all the comments before writing, but I'm sure I'd have nothing new to add if I did, so..........
I love that you captured the sparkling reflections in the snow through the 'wiggly, jiggly' fence, and the stark contrast of colors. This simplistic BEAUTY!!!
14 Jan 2009 7:22pm
@Judy: What a lovely comment, thanks always Judy :)
Shirin Moosavi from Tehran, Iran
Across the lines, who would dare to go
Love the pale light on the snow. Brilliant :)
14 Jan 2009 8:04pm
@Shirin Moosavi: Thanks very much Shirin :)
@Jasp: Goes nobody's dumb enough to go out, cough...;)
kerfendal from Paris, France
c'est vraiment une trés belle photo simple mais efficace "en poesie"
14 Jan 2009 9:40pm
@kerfendal: C'est gentil, merci beaucoup Max :)
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
The light here is mystical, the simplicity of the scene reveals magic to the eye, and the purity of the fresh sparkling snow is not broken by the wavy fence, but enhanced by it.
14 Jan 2009 10:00pm
@Richard_Irwin: Wow Richard, that's very pretty romantic and poetic, thanks a lot ;)
Bro from United Kingdom
Is that snow or powdered glass? Wire against the grass; the final showdown...
14 Jan 2009 10:39pm
@Bro: LOL good one R....it's snow !
Daryl from Amagasaki, Japan
What on earth is that fence supposed to be keeping in our out? Anything too big to fit through the holes could presumably step over it or knock it over! You need to get out there Lorraine, sort it out!
14 Jan 2009 11:48pm
@Daryl: You go out, I'm a frostsickle ;) lol
Walter from Watkinsville, United States
Fenced in or fenced out. Actually not really as much of a fence as it once was. Non the less, it is a wonderful depiction of lights and contrast.
15 Jan 2009 12:49am
@Walter: What was once, still is...and it's still freaking cold lol thanks a lot !
vu@granby Gilles Martineau from Granby, Québec, Canada

@amy: Thanks a lot Amy, hope it's not as cold in your corner..;)
JJ from Jersey City, United States
Great eye to see this as a shot, wonderful mix of well lit and shadow areas, beautiful

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
Beautiful light . . love how the low angle makes the most of the sculptured surface . . and that wire fence was just made for photography ! Impressive work.

Rien n'est inaccessible, nous-mêmes sommes seulement nos freins, à vouloir franchir cette clôture, les couleurs prometteuses nous sont réservées. Belle photo pleine de sens Bravo ;)
