First of all, you chose a beautiful setting.
And to answer your question, definitely looks like a cold seat.
The white against all of that red brick looks beautiful. Good job, thanks for sharing.

This is very deserving of 6 stars. However, I am out. This is an absolutely stunning shot. There is so much feeling in it. The leading lines from the path and the benches draws me into the scene. The light and shadows add so much and the colors are beautiful. I really love this shot. Good luck in the contest.

Wow! This is a great entry into the Cold Photography Contest and good luck. Such a gorgeous winter scene....I love the path and benches and how they draw the eye into your photography. I like your low perspective and feel it aids in your composition. A unique and creative winter scene. A perfect exposure and white balance. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing.

I was spellbound upon first impession-wow. Such clarity in an image is seldom seen!

The composition is perfect. The curved path leading the eye into the frame. The benches that decrease in size give a sense of depth. The muted colors against the white snow is amazing.

I would give this a 10 if FAR allowed it!

Marvelous to say the least!

a really good contest entry
I like the way the eye is lead around the frame by the paved road, also the curve of the benches, the snow looks crisp and clear and is not blown out, i like the muted tones which seem to add to the cold scene, well framed for maximum impact. good luck in the contest.

Nice capture. The angle of the shot of these park benches in the wintery terrain is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

A very peaceful yet cold scene from what appears to be a North Eastern college campus. The brick pathway moving from the lower right toward the far reaches of depth is very well done. The snow covered branches and light dusting on the walkway are standout features. Shadows from the benches adds a touch of perspective. A great entry for the contest and one I am sure will set the standard for the rest. Best of luck ~ Steve

Yes, really cold and not inviting, for my taste at least

excellent angle of shot, focus, depth of field and light handling
