Don't think you would get much traction in the snow with those iron wheels. Another great shot of days gone by. Another nice job.

Well, Debbie...you did it again. Excellent photography !! The beauty of "yester-year" has been given life..Proudly standing in a blanket of pure white snow. Great focus and clarity. [hummm wine?]

Comment from Papa


LowRider, this is a most appealing photograph. Great exposure, focus, composition and perspective. You did very well to get the snow a snowy white. The colours of the image are wonderful, as is the texture of the wood of that old wagon. A superb image.
Peace, Papa

Hi Low,

You often say that you're dodging buckshot when taking some of your pictures, so I understand that sometimes getting closer isn't a possibility. This shot is great, but the angle isn't the best for me. Get up closer and go wider on the lens. You'll get some cool perspective, keep the subject the same size, but increase your angle and thus include more mother nature in the background relative to the chariot. It might make the shot seem less claustrophobic, like you cropped it too much. The contrast on the picture is very strong, this might be a great picture to try out in black and white just for fun. Great shot, just wish you'd gotten a slightly better angle!

Very well done! This is another one of your shots that I think would look great on a note card... it's beautiful and almost doesn't look real. Color and composition is perfect in my opinion.

The subject and surroundings could not have made for a better photo. It takes an artist to see the elements you saw. Great Job.

Comment from goldpin


I am probably one of the very few folks who ever used a wagon and team as a primary method of transportation. All that means, is that I just be an old codger!!!! I really can not find fault with this photo, although, I think the top of the photo maybe cropped just a bit much. Oh well, you can't please everyone!!!

As a five star says: Amazing! I'm not much of a photographer or looking around at life slowly, so being here and seeing great works puts me down to stop and think. I like it! Like I said, once again I'm not a photographer but I enjoyed your work.
