Hello! i like the general feel of the scene, the thawing and dirty snow, the end of winter. the general composition is good but one thing is really bugging me.

The top of the mailbox is bang in line with the horizon and the top of the gate. i feel if you had crouched lower and maybe been a little closer, then the mailbox would have risen above the horizon and been a more prominent feature. i think that would have been more suitable for this shot given the title and the note.

i am sorry, i hope i have not offended you with my opinion.

Hi Wanda,
The critique from the unknow photographer above is very good. A lower POV would have made a more dynamic composition. This is a thing that is difficult but very important. Beside that, the feel of the cold is perfectly captured. The rural mood in this photo is something I love. Great details and exposure.

Hi Wanda
You love fences just like me, they're so beautiful in the landscape and can be good frames.
I love your composition here? You didn't use your new lens did you? It's the 18-55mm that's mentioned. Despite the misty weather you got very bright colors on the mailbox. You got a good point of view and a "right" angle ( I don't mean 90°). The corn stems against the fence add an extra touch of natural color. Did you try cloning the red and yellow markers?

Good work
Serge

Bonjour Wanda,
Une scène de vie... moi que me plains de ne pas voir de neige chez moi, finalement... ça me convient ;o)
Elle donne froid ta photo, un sentiment de solitude aussi, ça en fait une très bonne composition
Bonne journée Wanda

Hi Wanda, the layout of this doesn't offend me at all. Your were chasing the colour and achieved that well. I guess in areas like this you would want to check your mail regularly. Nice colour, good detail and well framed. CS2?

Hello Wanda.
The mailbox adds a lot to this winterlandscape.
Glad, here in holland they deliver mail at your door. When it is too big, they ring the bell, haha
Good work on it.
Best regards from Jan

I like this one very much -- perhaps a lower crouch would have helped, but I know I couldn't have done it myself. Great colours, lovely composition

P.S. the cloned out marker workshop adds a great touch

Hi Wanda

Lol at the "until the snow melts" comment! Judging from the lean of the letterbox & the bg plants it gets pretty windy in these parts too. Tfs!

Hi Wanda,
This is a "simple" but beatiful image. The nice details like the fence and the postbox makes it an attractive picture for me. The brightness, contrast and sharpness are fine. The presentation in the black frame takes care for a well balanced image.

Hi Wanda
Very lovely image with a creative view of a simple daily life subject.
The colours really stand out. I have not been in Carleton Place area in
winter but this photo inspires me to go photo hunting in the area.
