Cooooooooooooooooooooooooool shot, super shadows and it's a natural B&W... so who needs converting (the only way you can tell it isn't really B&W are the tiny specks of red on the climbing frame, but I think that's a nice 'extra')... ;-D

Thanks again, Petal! It's interesting that the monkey bars/ ladders/ whatever they are called, are red and blue, and the two bicycles were one red & one blue - go figure :) Cheers, Ina

Wow Ina! Awesome and unique POV! I love it. I really think this works better in color. It's like nature's B&W anyway and it carries a feel of B&W but has the glory of being in color too (with a subtle hint here and there - like in the sidewalk) . . . Just a great image all around.
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Ina, the whole series is great, I love your graphic like appearance of the images with a strong contrast and top down angle. This way all is very abstract like and one has to spend time to decrypt what is what here. Great relations between real and shades. Cheers for your grand slam, NJ

Thank you very much Andrzej, that's exactly how it was, looking abstract. The contrast is produced by the fresh snow, because today there are footprints and more dirt. Glad you like it :)
Best regards, Ina

Superb point of view and a great perspective. From the thumbnail, it looked like an architectural drawing and when I opened it, my jaw dropped.
Amazing. Great exposure.
Congratulations.

Thank you AGAIN :) Avi!!!!!!!!!! It's all your fault - LOL - seriously now, many thanks :) Ina
As for the "how" I took the pictures? Ummmmm... like over the balcony rail? Looking down - no bungee cords, nothing heroic or extreme... like hanging off an airplane... I'm afraid it was all toooooo plain & simple :)))LOL

Hi again Winfried and thanks :) The snow is coming down for a few days now, but not staying, in other words it melts fast - I think if you live in the city it's messy, it gets dirty fast, and the roads are sprinkled with salt.
But if you live in the country it's clean and pretty. This year it's been very warm until recently, and some areas of Canada (like Vancouver) have had more snow than us on the East coast, which is abnormal. It's very different from coast to coast :)Ina

Dear Ina you are very welcome. I agree with you, I enjoy it too looking each day what kind of new pictures are posted to UF. There are a lot of very good projects. But in my point of view, you have a great eye to see things and to catch them. Therefore you have earned all the awards you have become in the past.
All the best to you.

HI Ina,
Congrats on the two awards for this wonderful image full of geometrical design caused by the shadows!
Isn't it ironic that you get the award for the one that you didn't really intend to post :)
I agree with you about the B&W versions being the way to go with this set though. B&W lends itself perfectly to the high contrast of snow and shadow.
Great job on the whole set!
Andre

Hi Andre, it came as a surprise, especially since this one I accidentally posted in color, but as soon as I realized the mistake, I didn't replace it with the B & W version because I had already posted the others in sequence :) Thank you very much for looking at my pictures, I appreciate it :) Ina
