Thanks for the comments. I'm on the road now with no way to modify the pic.

Beautiful scene. I love the falling snow, trees, ,lamp, and latticed chairs. I agree that the two leftmost chairs are somewhat distracting to me. Very nice. -Melanie

Very nice, Jim! I find the stool and the darker chair on the left a little distracting, could you have moved the circle a little to the right to crop them out? Love the snowflakes coming down, good job capturing them! ~Sharon

Hi Traveller - thanks for the nice comment.
Re last challenge - actually the group did pretty well, with 7 different people casting votes on the 3 (6 on 1st, & 2nd place photos). However, they divided up among the 3. The concept would have "done better" with only one entry of that style. But since all 3 were different in some way, I expected it. And in the end, I was quite happy.

re this image - I'm glad you like it. I played with a number of apertures and times before settling in on this.

I actually think this is pretty terrific...you know, it seemed odd to me that your water color experiments from the last challenge didn't do better vote-wise. Any idea why this might have been the case?

I say this because I sense this may be true regarding this image this time around. but I quite like it.
