dazzling shot, simply terrific ... love the vertical lines, trees, woman ... she's at a crossroads, coming out of the fog ... was this a planned capture? ... gives me goosebumps

Thank you, Mitch and Martin. This was planned in the way that she was driving me around, showing me places, and happened to drive past this spot. I had never seen the place before and asked her to turn back. She parked beside the trees - car is just out of the frame at left - and I asked her to walk a few yards into the alley and back. It took us only a minute; you can see from her slight hunch that the weather was really uninviting.

Top shot, beautifully framed and presented.
The snow against the base of the trees adds greatly to the scene.

excellent!!!***************************

great ambience!

absolutely beautiful ... mood, frame B&W +++

Beautiful bw !

Outstanding

I hope she turned around and looked back one more time, the light here is gorgeous.

Unfortunately she walked straight into her car, which was parked just outside the frame at the left. :-) It was a very, very dark winter day, and cold too, as you can see from her hunch.

That's another reason why I like this photo that much, you can actually feel the cold here.

once upon a time...

...in the east.

Great sense of depth in this one.

Excellent !
