I think I prefer this landscape version to the portrait one in Take 2 for purely compositional reasons: I like the way the white snow circle — such a critical element — floats naturally within a full range of tones. In “Take 2,” the image is more contrasty, and the snow circle competes for attention with both the snowy street and the very light areas at top. In this first post, the strong horizontal lines of the storefront wall on the right lead directly to that anchoring point of interest.
oh, I remember your previous shots with the snow looking like this, that’s a brilliant series!!
thank you so much, Alexandra. I rembember that you liked the pictures back then already :-)
