Scary Scary Storm

this alludes to the major winter storm
we had last night - all-time record-setting
amounts of snow has fallen here in the
northeastern region of the u.s.!

Wonderful. I actually didn't mind the wind chime, but I agree that it is better without it. This could be the cover for a Stephen King book.

Say, is that Mr. shu looking quite frozen there???

Shu, I like that much much better even if I can still see the chain dangling. Paul

By the way, I'm getting tired of all the snow we been getting here in Kansas and still have on the ground.... The sad part is it's still only January!

I must confess that I'm really not a fan of this one. Love the concept but as others have mentioned, I find the chime creates a tension in the composition. -- LC

thanks i did think of not including the wind chime but it came down to the fact that it's a window and i wanted to leave it as ed and i see it and also the "gentleman's" image is meant to be a reflection on it, so left it as is. somehow i think the scene would not be as effictive w/o it. this is a delicate situation and requires some further thought. i thank you for your critiques! shu

I agree with Pops, I think it would show better without the chime. Is it a layer you can remove?? Other than that really really cool shu....... Paul

Love this but I find the wind chime distracting. The concept is over the top! - Pops
