A few from the recent snowfall C & C

Was lucky enough to be out and about the other morning with some time on my hands as the snow was all but gone by 11am..
Here is a few efforts.. Comments welcomed as always..

1. Just hanging around

2. Too cold to play

3. Where has our grass gone?

Nice shots, second and third are great. I would have said to crop the first to the second size but you did it already..

I really like 1 & 2. Very stark and crisp. They could almost be IR on short grass.

I like no. 2 - though I'd probably prefer 3 if it had a border around it to define the edges.

Nice work!

Thanks for all the comments.. I wanted to express the eerie feeling of the deserted playground. I will add a border to them as I feel you are right, the white just bleeds onto the screen without definition of boundaries..

I'm different from the others, I prefer no.1, as you say eerie and deserted.

hey there shep - just a quick question/C&C for you as the exif isn't available on the images but did you compensate for the exposure - it could be my laptop monitor (which I've recently discovered is complete sh~te for photography), but they look a little grey which wouldn't be unusual in snow scenery. If you are in RAW and if you also see them as a little grey then try playing with the exposure compensation of the images increasing a stop at a time and reviewing the output - otherwise it could be just my bloomin monitor! ;o) Cheers.
