First Pictures 2011 - Set 1

[asnow]

It finally snowed in Mississauga, so it was a good day to get my first pictures of 2011.

Nice set! , I really like the colours in these . My favorite one is is the 3rd one down

Thanks Donna. I liked the reflection of the tree in the water. I would have preferred to not have the bottom part cut off by the ice, however I was concerned about getting any closer to the water as I was out there all by myself.

Better safe than sorry! ... Yes the tree reflection in the water is beautiful with the layers of ice and snow and I really like the old buildings in the back ground

A very nice set indeed. #3 is my favourite as well. I wonder what it would have looked like if you panned a little to the right placing the tree a little off centre and showing a little more of those interesting buildings. I actually like having the reflection cut off by the ice as it adds an interesting foreground element.

Lastly, glad to hear that you are being safe while getting your images. We crazy photographers can put ourselves in crazy positions to get the shot but I always hope we're all being safe about it!

Thanks Iggy. Here's the same picture taken in landscape. Perhaps it is better this way. Also it is interesting that both you and Donna like the buildings in the background. I rermember that I didn't like the buildings there when I took the picture.
