white by summerfield

white

this photo is shot in colour, not processed, except for the framing and the name tag. i tried to see what it looked like in black and white and there's not much of a difference at all. at all! (see how this looked like a week ago: http://one-photograph-a-day.blogspot.com/2012/02/day-734-winter-boardwalk.html )

i'd have preferred that there's no footprints on the snow, but i didn't get there early enough obviously.

thank you for your views and comments. believe me when i say it is much appreciated.
Esh
pretty!

I know you could wipe out the footprints with a retouch but I like them. A reminder that even in solitude there have been others where we are now

I love seeing winter scenes with the label Summerfield

More snow that we have- thanks for sharing. I like the foot prints- adds to this one.

Very nice! You got snow!! (We got a little bit here -- only about the second time this winter -- all of .5 of an inch!)

very pretty! i know it's hard for viewers who are not used to snow to realize just how black, white and grey our winter scenes can be.

Lovely shot! The snow looks so fresh and clean.

Love this, you can almost feel the dampness and cold.. Quite the difference in a week. btw, I like the other photos you've posted on your blog.

@esha - thank you, esh.

@pandorasecho - no, i didn't even think about removing the footprints as i actually thought that it gave the viewer a perception of how much snow there was. "A reminder that even in solitude there have been others where we are now" - i love that. thank you, dixie.

@jannkc - thought so, too. thank you, jann.

@cscecil - we got more this morning and this afternoon, however, it was too cold to be going out and hunt for a photo op. so i just contented myself watching from the window. thank you, CS.

looks great , the prints in the snow are such a plus to this shot. You did well my friend.

@sunnygreenwood - indeed. i saw someone's posting of snowy trees and there was a comment about how nice it was in black and white, but there was a little bit of colour in the pic. thank you, anne.

@beba8162 - this is far away from the main road so i doubt if the city sands or salts the boardwalk. my guess they probably don't. but it's always nice to be first in the scene of the snow. thank you, roberta.

@slash - thank you, susan. it was quite cold and in fact, i almost cried going back because my fingers hurt so much even though i wore what i just bought were 'photographer's gloves' i still suffered. thank you also for looking at my photo blog.

@marbolo - thank you, rochelle.

you got snow !!!! love the photo... you should have made a snow angel

@sarasdadandmom - thank you, terry. very kind of you.
February 13th, 2012  
@lesip - hahaha! too old to be making snow angel. that would've been hilarious especially if someone with a camera and has a 365 account captures that scene. thank you, leslie.

I think that the footprints give a beautiful touch to this one, summerfield. Pristine is beautiful . . but so is life. It's a gorgeous pov and composition. I LOVE this!
February 13th, 2012  
wow what a difference. The snow is always nice but ......
February 13th, 2012  
Ooh so much snow! Lovely Ms Summer!

This tells an interesting wintery story.

@karenann - thank you, karenann, you're so sweet, as always.

@bkbinthecity - thank you, brian.

@danig - that's all gone today as it got milder. our weather is ultra crazy. thank you, DG.

@1invisiblegrl - thank you, virginia.

I like the footprints- I think they add interest to the shot and help emphasize the white of the snow.

@olivetreeann - i just now noticed that there were some falling snow captured in this photograph. i'd have prefered the snow to have been flawless but i agree with you, it's what makes the snow in this photo so interesting. thank you, ann.
