I do like the composition.

Nice winter shot! I would probably rush into the office to get some warmth ;D

A fantastic shot, Bob. Did you put a flash in the background to get that effect? Glad to see you working the night again. Wish I were young enough to do that.

+1.
It's nice to see a bit of what your Florida night shots have even in a location that is obviously not Florida.

Thanks, Russ. ... There's a big light behind the caretaker's house, hence the eerie effect (handheld ISO 3200).

I like too. That said, if you would crop off the bottom part with the footprints and tire marks it would become even better. :)

Being that it's a trailer park, I think the street--footprints and tire marks help tell the story. My intent was to make the trailer park look like a winter wonderland.

I suspected as much, since that's the way I felt the image.

That works for me! :)

There'll always be a cropper, no matter what you post. To a cropper, no picture is complete until it's been cropped. Just ignore it.

What, you've never cropped an image? Damn, you're good!

Rarely, but when I do it's because I knew I was going to crop when I tripped the shutter. I don't ask people whether or not I should crop.

Here's a demo of the effects of unplanned cropping:
Mis-I do crop whether or not I should.
See how cropping improved that statement? :D :D :D

Not sure what the general objection is to cropping. We can always choose to ignore input from others regarding cropping. In the end, it's just a tool that many choose for a variety of reasons.

Yes. The reason usually is that they hadn't a clue what they really were after when they made the original shot. Refusing to crop, as HCB did, seems a bit extreme, but only a bit. The idea, Cam, is to compose on the camera.
-
I fully understand composing in the camera but not every image I take is suited for the format ratio of the camera. For example, I often do a series that are in a square format. If not cropping works for you great. I choose not to be that limited. To each there own!
-
Hi Cam,
As I said, if your composition doesn't fit on the camera you may need to crop. Actually, if you're shooting square pictures you have two choices: (1) frame your square image squarely on a 3 to 2 or 4 to 3 or 5 to 4 aspect ratio camera and then crop. (2) Buy a 2 1/2 x 2 1/4 camera.
You don't say where you are, but from your post I gather English isn't your first language.

After buying a Phase One who can afford another camera!

Superb image, Bob. Perfect timing on the balance. What camera?
The croppers lose IMHO. My first thought was that it could lose the tire tracks, but I quickly changed my mind. They're essential.
Again, lovely. Thanks for freezing your ass off for us.

Funny, I thought this was the "User Critiques" forum. I didn't know that there are winners and losers on this particular forum. I thought it was a place where you could freely and honestly give a critique. Someone even tried to sensor a critique by saying to ignore the post. It seems that a few people here think very highly of themselves and value their opinions above all others. I guess I just expected people to be a little more respectful to their fellow photographers. I was wrong.

Couldn't agree more.
-
Agreed. Apologies. That was a poor way of classifying contributors.
-
Thanks Peter for your understanding. Maybe I was a being little over sensitive. :)
-
Bob, nice shot, the lighting and tones sort of remind me of a Thomas Kinkade piece. That is meant to be complimentary before someone takes offense :)

Although I'm not a Kinkade fan, my first thought before taking the photo was "Kinkade." Although Kinkade painted schmaltzy scenes, he was a master technician. If only he'd painted trailer parks at night...
