January 8 - 11:02 a.m. Christina Craft

January 8 - 11:02 a.m.

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

This may be the only snow this year so every kid in the neighborhood is in the park behind my house. It's not a very big hill, but they're all enjoying it for everything it's worth. This scene is at the bottom of the hill where two girls were building a snowman.

I just got a Nikkor 70-200mm lens and this was a fun first subject to do some testing. This is at the maximimum 200mm from my backyard looking down into the park and I'm pretty happy with the results. I spot-edited out a tree branch that was distracting (in the top corner) and used the dodge and burning tool a little bit.

This is a great composition. Could you turn on your exif data so we can see what settings you used on your camera?

Love the bright colours.

Great shot Christina.
Excellent composition, good perspective, good colour balance.
You really captured the expression of happiness and fun in the moment.

I love this. Not only because of the fun which everyone seems to be having but the colours and composition are great.

Wonderful shot, beautifully composed and lit. It really captures the excitement of the first snowfall (and in your case, maybe the only snowfall!)

I love the little ones all bundled up on the sled. :)

A fun image! We're in Oregon and thought we might get snow from this storm, too, but it just missed us. We have some disappointed kids at our house today :)
