Snowbound

By Neil_Higgins
Well i went out in the snow wanting to find some simple subjects that would represent Winter, i didn't want wide angle views of the hills etc, just a few basic elements.

I came across this ladder and stone wall and it seemed just right, however the sky was just plain grey and not what i wanted, so i waited, and waited, and about 45 minutes later after the rain and sleet showers had finally cleared away i got what i wanted.

Have a great weekend Smile

Waiting brings its rewards! A flawless composition and exposure, Neil. I'd be grateful if you could ship some of that snow down this way for the weekend.

Beautiful shot. also well composed as the lines lead your eye up the slope and somehow back down again to the ladder!
