This one is amazing -- great choice for the wide angle!!! Love the long icicles. Glad none of them fell on you looking up at them like that. Lighting must have been difficult under there.

Great shot--a real winner! Let me recommend you look at the Sigma 17-35mm f:2.8. It doesn't give you the reach of the Canon, but it is a LOT cheaper. You might even find it on e-Bay. My first day trying mine at the beach out yielded some very satisfying shots. See: http://www.usefilm.com/image/650319.html

Interesting shot with nice use of light i think, from dark to fully light with the lamps well coming out of the picture. Also nice contrast of old and new (street vs building vs lamps). Well done!

Interesting photo..I think there's a bit too much contrast between the bright right part and the bottom of the image. I like the composition and the feeling of desolation.

I agree... Snow throws off meters a LOT! I actually didn't think about the background or even realize how it came out when reviewing images on location, and I should've taken a closer look at it then... I personally wish I could've done something better. I think I would've either tried to keep it much more out of focus or just lighten or darken it more per your suggestion... Very good comment, thanks, I appreciate it! =)

I like the study in steel -- the grid, beams, arches -- and the colors green tinted and rust. I find the snowy trees and background quite distracting and wish for something simple in real light or dark to set off the interesting detail in your very complex subject.

Hey I just wanted to comment to you, and also make this a general comment to all who view this, that there is a print version available that can be purchased in high resolution glossy/matte format of the image (without the border) and wanted to forward that link...
You can find the print version available HERE:

Thanks for all the comments so far!! =)

I have to agree with you. For a sunset to appeal to me anymore it has to have been worked hard for... Its just too easy for digi photographers to play with levels and saturation and create eye-candy from a sunset...
This has been well worked, and the inverted 'L' frames the image well. I also like the way you have made certain that the sun is behind the tree to prevent blowing out the image.

lol love your desription... The shallow DOF is what makes this work IMHO. I have something similar which I took in Autumn here in the UK which consisted of mainly oranges and yellows, so this really stood out to me...

Alex, this is superb. Love the minimalism in the image which allows us to focus fully on the subject. The moodiness conveyed by this image is wonderful and the shapes and shadows work well together to provide us with an interesting perspective. Just a delightful image.
Best regards
Sean

It wasn't actually that cold... thankfully! The sun was out and it was a bright warm(er) day than normal, so we went out... Though I do see that coldness that looks like its coming from it. Heh... Thanks for the comments!

I know sunsets are not the zenith of artistic photography, but I still enjoy both shooting them and looking at others' efforts. I like the way you have used the tree in the foreground to frame this shot. Great colours too.
