Winter day in Denmark

This image was taken on a snowy, cold day in Kongen's Lyngby in Denmark during the Christmas season. The vertical lines of the treess, the slanted lines of the snow and streets and the people walking along the street add a lot of movement to this image. The image has been cropped to remove a very grey, bald sky and a large swath of paved street in the forground. Cropping definitely improved this image.

Alastair Cochrane A good urban landscape image - not often I see winter shots like this. It certainly feels cold to me. Perhaps the edge of the road is a bit too strong in the foreground although I don't imagine the city would be happy for you to dig it up! - maybe a bit of cropping/editing this feature would make an even stronger picture.
Mark Southard The image definitely says Winter! The poster in the middle draws ones attention right to the center

Sukumar You did well to crop. The diagonally blowing snow and the shoppers scurrying about their business tells a story. Only wish there was someone in the foreground, since all the action seems to be happening in the background.

Claire Riemer

My Dad started me out in photography by giving me a Kodak Brownie when I was 11 and I have been hooked on making images since then - and that was over 40 years ago! He even gave me my Minolta X700 - which I use to this day - and still love the creative control that it gives me. Today I also use a Nikon Coolpix 995 for my digital imaging. I would rather be making images more than anything else, but do have that day job for the essentials like food and a roof over my head!

I am a nurse and I work for a computer software company as a supervisor for a group that implements a patient care documentation system in health care organizations. I have traveled a great deal for this company and this has given me many opportunities to capture images in "off the beaten path" locations. I always have a camera with me!

I have been a member of a camera club for over 20 years and have written the club's newsletter for all this time. I am presently president of the club and in charge of the field trips and workshops. I started using Photoshop when I moved and had to give up my darkroom. I started on version 3.0 and now use Photoshop CS to do all my work with my images.
