Cheryl from Texas, United States
this person makes me wonder...man, woman or child? short with shoulder length hair and big feet and sturdy enough to bear the bitter cold walking alone uphill. Tough lady that is me thinks! awsome story here Lorraine.

@Cheryl: Wow, I like your story better lol thanks a lot Cheryl :)

@JoeB: Yes and I'm very properly dressed for my car lol thanks a lot Joe :)
Barbara from Florida, United States
Charming lamp posts with a scene of house in it's lens. Is this an area of a historic past?
Great composition here, ideal in B&W.
The coldness in the air is not only shows in the persons breath but the scene in the background.
Well captured, Lorraine.
11 Mar 2009 1:43pm

Mellofello from Bromley, United Kingdom
Looks a little as though he/she is walking down at present ... she I think. It's intriguing. Must be the angle you've taken it from. Lovely shot. I can feel the cold.
11 Mar 2009 3:18pm
@Mellofello: Thanks for the beautiful comment Mello :)
@Eleftheria: It's still cold sweety, but by the end of April it should behave, I hope! ;)
Anna.C from LA ROCHELLE, France
elle marche seule dans le froid .....j'aime la composition et la perspective ! l'alignement de ces réverbères est du plus bel effet !
11 Mar 2009 3:42pm
@Anna.C: Quelle belle observation, merci beaucoup Anna ;)

Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States
Looks like a winter flashback, or perhaps a winter's last fading hurrah?
11 Mar 2009 7:39pm
@Viewfinder: From your words to Mother Nature's ears, it's cold here today, MINUS 15 and my fingers are freezing in the house....geesh, thsnks so much for your nice wish, my friend, hope you're doing a little better!
@Alun Lambert: Thanks a lot Alun and considering how we're all broke somehow the 'loan' figure is perfectly spelled lol
@jamesy: Yes, I'm very glad she didn't slip, 'cause I would have probably taken a photo, and that is just so wrong! ;) Thanks a lot Debbie!
@Daryl: Always is morning my friend, lol thanks a lot Daryl :)
Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United States
I like the way telephoto effect, condensing the street lamps and the person's breath so visible in the cold. Great capture.
11 Mar 2009 11:17pm
@Suzanne: thanks a lot sweetie, now I'd like to see sweat lol
Pixim from Nice, France
Bonjour lorraine, ta photo est superbement construite avec toutes ces lignes verticales et sombres. Une analogie intéressante en ressort entre ces luminaires fixés solidement et ce personnage en mouvement de manière décidé. Son chemin semble ardu, mais les témoins sont là pour voir son avancée ;)
11 Mar 2009 11:18pm
@Pixim: Wow quel commentaire, et j'ai t'ai manqué dernièrement, est-ce que je t'ai oublié? ça me semble imvraisemblable...je visite bientôt ;)
Observing from North West, United Kingdom
I like the B&W and how the street lamps are compressed together. The monkey sat in the sun today :)
12 Mar 2009 1:51am
@Observing: ahhh Lucky Monkey, there's sun today, at MINUS 15, I ain't going to sun tan, thanks Mike lol
Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada
Lorraine, well done. I like the little wisp of breath in the picture. I know it was cold and brisk. Well done.
12 Mar 2009 2:17am
@Lee: Are we ever going to get a break do you think? thanks so much Lee :)
amy from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Excellent lines, Lorraine... and the breath puff from the subject is perfect for saying how cold it is.. sorry it's so cold.. ;-)
12 Mar 2009 4:16am
@amy: I'm sorry too, snif, I can't help it, it's bloody cold today at MINUS 15, It should be in the positive double digits by now...Thanks so much Amy ;)
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
Perspective, telephoto compression and verticals are the key to the success of this great image for me.

Visiblement, le froid est encore là, quand on constate la buée qui sort de ses poumons.
