  Hi all!

  Finally Bray got some snow! We seemed to be the only place not to get any for ages, eventually some fell tonight. Took this just as I was leaving the house to head over to build a snow man with my neices. Had to take it from my porch as I didnt wanna risk getting the camera wet.

  Anyway, I’m sure you can understand the idea behind the photo but I’m just not happy with the results. What would you do to improve it? Any help / ideas much appreciated.

  I think that’s really nice-
  though the footsteps are kinda incidental- imo-
  Really like the composition and tonality of the top part of the picture though-
  everything has become really planar, helped immeasurably by the snow-

  have a look along the wall on the LHD side of the pic, I walked up alongside the wall to the gates then walked back towards to where the pic was taken and tadaa! footsteps :)

  thanks for the comment jb7

  It’d be better without the footsteps.
  I love the hulking menacing black shape outside the gate.

  cheers Pixelle,

  it was a truck, the traffic was moving so slow it might as well have been parked outside :)
