Waiting To Skate..

This another of my first photographs with my new camera. I also did this one at the First Night Festivities here in SLC.
These people were waiting in line to ice skate.
What are your thoughts about this one?
Thanks!

Hi Brian,

Cool shot! I liked it before, but now that I know what the people are doing, I like it more. However, I think it would be a better shot if it were easier to tell what the people are doing...like if there was a sign at the head of the line or something. I realize there may not have been a sign, but that's the only thing I can think of to improve this (IMO). I like the composition, otherwise. I think the silhouetted people look good. I'm sure they have a little more detail in print than we can see here, too.

I think the silhouetted people standing in line in front of the lighted trees makes a very wintery appealing night scene. Paul makes a good point about having a sign or something there indicating what this is all about, but I don't think it's crucial. I would have liked to see the crop opened up a bit more.
