I took a walk today together with my mother.
happy new year to everybody!

This is a nice shot but I think the sky is empty and dull and the place too. but anyways, I like the concept and the colors, very simple yet wonderful.

I really like this shot, very bleak.

Also like how you can see the footprints in the snow still..

Shame some cars had ruined it before

This is nice! I like the empty sky a lot and I also like the tire tracks. The sky creates a nice bleak feeling like motlive mentioned and the tire tracks create a nice line leading you through the frame. The only thing I would change is I would have panned the shot to the right a hair brining the left edge of the frame almost to the left side of the patch of trees and brining the road more into the frame.

Happy New Year you as well

I like this picture. The copse of trees on the skyline is important I think because it fills that area nicely. I would also have pulled more of the road into it - although I like the picture, I feel the road looks a little "chopped off". If it had been entire, it would have led the eye into the picture better.

Cheers
Mike

I really like it too. The tyre tracks and foot prints lead me right to the pedestrian.

[Greg McCary]

I agree with the others a little more to the right putting the person more in the right hand third of the shot also showing more road. I also agree with Mike the trees are an important element but think to cropping out some of the sky, the foreground and a little off of the left frame would help.

It's a rural landscape with great patterns, the right amount of colour, lovely geometric shapes and a sky as it should be given the conditions.
The copse of trees on the hill aids the picture immensly and the tarmac revealed by passing traffic, plus the presence of your Mum and her foorprints, keeps the eyes happily busy. And of course it's Winter and it's cold and calm. A small point; a little swing of the camera to the right and it would be perfect. Nevertheless it's a great shot as it is.
Good man there Engineer.

I liked the dark/light contrast in the foreground. I would've preferred the person closer to the camera and a cropping of the trees on the right in order to show a solitary copse of trees. Wish I could do as well.

It is a nice shot. I agree with a little more to the right and maybe with your mother a bit closer but nice as is.

[engineer]

thanks for your comments. I agree that I should have moved my camera more to the right.
the snow has melted already, I wonder if we will get snow again this winter at all, the global warming really seems to be there and changing everything.

I like this picture a lot. I agree with the suggestions about the road placement. My biggest issue with the picture is the lack of strong contrast between the earth and sky, I just wish there was more.

Good composition!
