Very cool work Roxy
Superbly captured! Not that it makes me want to sit on the bench or anything like that, but a very fine capture of color and light!
Fantastic work on this very cool capture Roxy, pardon the pun ;)
This is fantastic. Love the composition and simple subject. Your postwork on this one is focused and exceptional.
the grip of winter is slow to release many parts. however it is beautiful
Beyond the fantastic!! I love everything in this photo Roxy! :-)))) Absolutely goes to my favorits,superb capture my friend!:-))))
Wonderful shot
I love how the glint in the snow is so sharp and the bench is in full color. But it is not just a black and white with one colored object you really made it exceptional with the faint colors. The blue hue of the snow is beautiful, the green in just one tree is brilliant and the hint of pink in the sky really completes the image. You made an exceptional capture into a piece of artwork!!!
Fine HDR work - I like the crispness of the bench & foreground snow & how it gradually fades to the slightly fuzzy trees in the background. You're getting a lot of mileage out of simple benches in the snow...
awesome nature.
Wow, the colors and light in this are outstanding, Roxy! A really nice dedi! Beautiful postwork!
A beautiful winter landscape. Excellent colored. The warm wood of the bench is like a sunbeam in the cold.
Beautiful winter landscape...Let the spring begin!!!!!

Nice work and postwork. Looking forward to more shots with that 11-16; ultrawides open up so much possibility.
Fantastic work and very beautiful picture !!!
Stunning winter landscape capture Roxy.
This shares so much in common with your rendered work, and that's a good thing. I think it's in the colors and the quality of light, the way that this is quite obviously a photograph of a place and yet the colors and the light combine to form a particular mood. Despite the benches, there's no human presence in here, not even an implied human presence (unless you count the photographer) and that simply heightens the mood by dipping it in a bath of ambient neutrality; this allows the image itself to conjure a whole range of emotions, and the almost-dreamy quality of the scene works so perfectly for me. This is quite marvelous work.
great pic, excellent
Wonderful image
