Benches in the Snow

Chicago had a fairly large blizzard today so Annette @anwan and I decided there might be some good photo ops at Millennium Park. It was a lot of fun despite the wind and very wet snow falling constantly.
For the first day of B&W February, emphasizing form this week. A photo taken and processed today.

Oooh, so exciting seeing so many folk doing b&w! Wow, so much snow. Your angle and the snow really give the benches form.

I see we both were able to capture the snow falling as part of our shots! Not really all that difficult to do given the amount that was falling and the wind that kept it airborne! Well captured for the B&W theme!

[Sally Ings]

If one didn't know better you could think that the benches had cushions on them! I bet nobody is rushing to sit on them.

[Babs]

Wow, you went outside in this weather. You must be mad. It's freezing. Well worth getting frostbite for though. Brilliant shot.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Love this, been playing with snow covered benches and hadn't considered bw. Love them.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

You've made the most out of the lovely (ha ha) winter weather. Super contrasting elements in this pic. Glad to see you're taking on the B&W challenge after all. I was too new to 365 to even consider a B&W challenge last year at this time. Looking forward to this one tho.

The snow has really helped to define your images leaving us with clearly defined forms.
