Love the light, the shadows and the depth in this picture.
The choice of black and white perfectly emphasizes the simplicity.
Did you by any chance take another picture at a lower angle?
regards
Chris

Hi David.
A really simple and pleasant composition. I love b&w and this is a lovely example, well suited to the vertical crop. Good luck with your new career, I'm jealous! Well done.
Regards, Steve.

Framing is everything in a shot like this, David, and I think you did it really well! (Well, I shouldn't say it's everything, there's the conception of the shot in the first place, another worthy aspect here.) I like how you've created pattern even though the reality is slightly haphazard due to the irregularly rolling landscape.

I wish you great success in your commercial venture--just make sure it doesn't take the fun out of photography for you! I like to think that having fun and making money are fully compatible. Regards, Ken.

Good new take on this type of motive, David, I remember your earlier attempt at this matter. Again a successful graphical result based on the way in which the fence elements are reaching out of the snow. The impression is of course strengthened by the shadows at the left, and by the b&w treatment. Good luck for your ventures into photo selling and marketing.

I like your composition of undulating shadows and the receding fence line. Nice tonalities of b/w.

As others have said a good graphical image - the note adds to it's meaning and makes it something special :)

Hi David,

Beautiful composition here, with use of both leading lines and diagonal which are very complementary here. As usual, great use of b/w (colour would have been flat here I imagine).

Kindest regards,

Don

Hi David,
A nice graphical work well enhanced by the BW conversion, I like the shades that look like barbed wire and complement well the subject.
Have a nice day,

A snow covered wooden fence : a very interesting picture, with a nice diagonal framing and beautifull dark shadows, thanks to the snow, I believe. My main reproach would be that, considering the thickness of the snow, the trapezoidal structure of the wooden poles has to be imagined.. I would like to see another one whitout the snow to make the comparison.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi David

Wonderful compositional diagonal, with superb sharpnesss, tonal range, & lighting. Tfs!

Hi David. It's nice to see you again. Don't worry about those snowmobilers as the effort to trudge over there was worth it. This shot was begging for b/w and you did your usual good work with the conversion. I love the play of light and shadows.

I just read your note about taking on professional photography and I would just like to wish you good luck in your new endeavor!

Hi David

Nice b&w. A great sight the fence barried in the snow. Good repetition and use of light. Interesting shadows and a good white background. Well done.

Hi David,
Very impressive composition (portfolio too), of this fence. The repetition, the sense of depth and the black and white with the reflections on the snow is superb.
Best regards. Salvator.
PS. Your notes are concise and to the point and a pleasure to read.

Another very well made graphic work David. Top use of the format and the perfect balance of structures and shades. A perfect bw work.

IaKoop (819) 2007-07-23 22:00

David, must all your shots be perfect?! LOL.

OK, what can I say. Excellent composition, of course. I love the play not only of shadow and light but also of texture. Also impressed that you managed to accomplish it on snow without a blowout.

Your notes give your subject meaningful impact, and just a splash of humour. Please continue to inspire me!

Hello David -

Such a simple image of shadows and light it is just perfect. The B&W format really suit this scene very well. There is a complete range of tones from black to white and there is also detail in the snow. Well done! And, to heck with the snowmobiler's!

Thanks for sharing.

Hello David,

I like a lot this photo: very simple, very graphical, a photo which uses a lot the texture of the snow and the wood of the fence. The exposure is very good and keep all the shades of the light tones.
I like also the abstraction of this view with the line of the fence and the shadows following. The note explains the view and we are then looking in an other way.

Yves.

Witaj David!
Good idea, curious effect. Artistic photo. I like the composition and frame. Well done.

David, an image with excellent graphism that received the right treatment with the monochromatic approach enhancing the the contrast between the fence and the snow blanket.
The note is great and expresses the sadness of the modern american world. Living in the country of the free, I pause for a moment and wonder you was more free, we with our borders or the late and borderless Native Americans.
