Description

Back home after work.  It's a lot easier to handle the cold when it's not quite so dark.

Great composition, and really nice tones!  Exposure in snow is always a little tough, but you nailed it.

Stunning piece of work - the lines, the tones. And the full sun on the blown section below loops the depth perception in a really weird way. (maybe I'm tired?)

I was playing with this one and it worked out really well.  I kept doing double-takes trying to figure out what it was.

If it had that effect on you ...

When I looked at the negative I kept thinking it was the roof line of an arbor or such.

Great play with lines and substance!  And very good exposure control.

Great abstraction; the snow makes it difficult to identify a common object.

Unusual angle/perspective made me wonder what it was despite the title. Great shot.

I kept doing double takes with it, too.
