Title: Snow and ice, Toronto
Post by: PeterAit on April 17, 2015, 09:10:35 am

Taken during a very cold January at Toronto Harbor. I like the semi-abstract nature of this image and the fact you don't immediately get a sense of scale from it. Canon G-11.

Maybe I don't know enough about ice [though I have been up north], but I get a sense of about fifteen feet at the snow line across the frame.

I like the ice, it texture, and its line with the snow.

I hope the snow is white enough for Slobodan, because it is too white for the brown stains in my screen.

Hi Peter, Problem is that if it's intended to be an abstract you probably don't want to give it a title that makes it specific, but if it's snow and ice in Toronto it might be better to give it context. I think the picture's falling between two stools.

Love it, Peter, as-is.

I like it as is, too.

But to take care of Russ's suggestion, you might want to rename it something like "The triumph of Good over Evil," or maybe "the human condition."   ;)
