C&C welcome. The sun was setting, so there wasn't a lot of available light, but I thought the low light fit the sombre mood of the scene

I really like this image, Anty. So much to like - it IS a very cold shot, makes you shiver just to see that icy water. The bright red of the canoe is a nice shot of warmth in an otherwise very cold scene.

Love the reflection - just adds another element to this wintry scene.

Nicely done. :thumbup:

Ok what lens do you use? My gosh ever one of your pictures is crisp and rich in color. The only lens I have that comes close to this quality is my 50mm.

I like this! The thing that makes it for me is the rope draped neatly off the side of the boat. I love that the interior of the boat is red, too! I'll bet that was something that drew you to this!

I am going out on a limb here to say that this boat has 2 sets of oarlocks and has never seen a motor on it. :sillysmile:

The only lens I have that comes close to this quality is my 50mm.Actually my lens isn't anything special...I use a Tamron 18-200 on my Canon Digital Rebel XT. I hope to get a 50mm lens at some point, but I figured I better get better at basic photography before I reward myself with good glass.

That plus the reflection in the icy water, and the whole atmosphere of 'quiet' and 'waiting for spring' that I felt.

I got my 50mm from B&H. Wasn't to expensive.
