You've captured a fine quiet mood in this image. Snow-dusted trees and grounds, with a couple enjoying the moment. I suspect there were no sounds being made when you were on site. The photo has a nice balance to it and a warm glow from the lights. The foreground, though, doesn't add much to the image. I would consider cropping off the bottom half of the water, just below what look like ice crystals. The bottom inch is not in focus in any event. Overall, I like your results. 6

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes to the challenge

Well done for looking up, too few of us observe the potential above us. The dominant blacks intersected by the irregular whites of these snow covered wires is very striking and effective. In respect of the challenge brief the ‘vanishing point’ is not obvious in any traditional sort of way which probably accounts for a lower than deserved score. Personally, I think a square crop, excluding the bulb and the right where the looped wire starts would have given your shot a lot more impact. Have a good festive season, I look forward to more creative images from you in the coming year.
