This is an extraordinary composition - I don't really like it very much, but yet it seems effective. There's an almost oriental feel to it - perhaps in the simplicity and the white background. Fascinating work.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Rafter...

I love the snow that you get in Canada... I live in an area that gets 'some' snow but not usually large amounts at any given time. Since I love snow, i really enjoy seeing nice photos of it :)

I really like the way you have chosen to compose this photo. The bridge seems to be nicely located in the lower portion of the frame. I really like your creative choice to 'frame' the bridge with the snow covered branches in the foreground of this image. This pushes my eye directly to the bridge :)

The subdued color of this snow scene also does a nice job of enhancing the feel of a cold winter afternoon. I can envision red noses and bundled up children standing behind you waiting for you to finish this photo so they can sled on the hill :)

Keep up the great work :)

Very creative shot - I like the way the sticks actually "stick out".
